Right, just don't forget about it. With the current settings performance for certain package sizes truely sucks. The thread I referenced was about CPMD performance so this is not just a syntetic thing. IMHO the default should be bruck to pair-wise (without ever going near basic linear). The impact with the current config is that alltoall (maybe others are bad too but alltoall is the only one I've tested) in the range ~100+ bytes to a few Kbytes sucks big times (atleast for nranks >= 32). Keep up the good work, Peter
