It's worth investigating, but will likely take much longer to implement (unless an expert in this is willing to help). The thought behind using something like Intel's Threading Building Blocks is that I don't have to implement the task and scheduler abstractions and can hopefully build a proof of concept in less time. This is more of a constraint in my own scope of knowledge and experience. I try to learn Everything, but fortunately for the Universe, there is more knowledge to be learned than time remaining in my life.
