MPI_Waitany-length

In this measurement we use the MPI_Waitany-routine to coordinate the incoming worker messages. This function does not guarantee a fair coordination of the workers, because possibly a worker's messages are always overtoken by the messages of its colleagues. But because of its simplicity it may be faster than the MPI_Waitsome.

We vary over the message length.
