With work-stealing, there is more contention on the locks protecting the worker thread job queues. I looked at the some of the popular lock-free work-stealing queue papers and implementations in the wild, and so far the one that seems to most correspond to what we need in the job scheduler is the Chase-Lev work stealing deque.
