This might not be the exact manifestation of the paradox, but I think it's at least a supporting anecdote. The latest Sim City had its problems, but I definitely experienced this phenomenon in its traffic simulation. Adding more roads created more intersections which -- using a computer analogy -- created more context switches between competing cars (threads). Intersections would become clogged, potentially backing up nearby intersections. The best traffic systems in Sim City minimized intersections just as much as -- if not more than -- throughput and mean travel distance.
