Yes, but as the calculation is becoming slower with more CPU it means that 
communication is becoming too expensive. You have to check at the end of the 
output file to see what scales and what does not, in you case it is probably 
the Fourier transform that is killing you scaling, you can try to use some 
task groups (-ntg XX if I remember correctly) to see if you can scale a bit 
higher.
