Henning,

I have tried to reproduce the problem but everything was ok.
I used an areas.list with 256 tiles. Splitter uses two passes with each 
128 tiles. After the first 128 tiles there are some messages that some 
worker threads have finished and it takes some time between finishing 
the first 128 tiles and starting the other 128 tiles.

Can you please recheck if you really have the problem?
