Hello Andreas,

Thank you for your reply. Please check my comments inline.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. I tried some NAS benchmarks: 
bt, sp and lu-hp. bt and sp were around 60% slower with the balancing
turned on, and lu-hp was 10 times slower.

I also ran Lulesh, which was roughly 100% slower with the balancing
turned on.

I checked and it's not running.

Cheers,
Martin
