Please send the full configure output as well as the config.log file (please 
compress).

I've pinged Pathscale about this.

This should not be, and might explain your lower performance on the IMB results.

Nathan -- you reported that you saw something like this before, but were then 
unable to reproduce.  Any ideas what's going on here?  Mellanox?

(although the short message latency is troubling...)

Can you ensure that you aren't using MXM in 1.7?  I understand that its short 
message latency is worse than RC verbs.  You'll need to add "--mca pml ob1" in 
your command line.
