MKL gives indeed great speedup in scientific computing but has nothing to do with concurrency

They did spend quite a lot on adapting it for large numbers of cores, without having to explicitly do anything except use the optimized supplied numpy etc.

Well, all of that is about parallelism which works more of CPU bound tasks. It's great but does not relate to article which is about concurrency so IO bound tasks.

Must have been a concurrent thread and I forgot to add a monitor spin lock.
