I've seen this behaviour in outsourced software development. In the end they had 10 times the people they would actually need on projects. And they were mostly trapped inside deadlocks and doing nothing. Just like if you try to parallelize a single threaded application without redesigning it. Just multiplying the core count of the CPU by 10 may bring you a few percent increase in speed, but nowhere close to the expected +1000%.
