The authors wish to thank Marcin Dabrowski and Boris Kaus for careful and thorough reviews of this manuscript. Their suggestions have improved the clarity of the work presented. We also thank Matthew G. Knepley for identifying a detail we originally overlooked when applying the BFBt preconditioner and Marc Spiegelman for proof reading the paper and suggesting we examine the simple shear model. We acknowledge support of ARC grants LP0347688 and DP044997.
