Hi,

I was trying to run some rough benchmarks to compare the speedup using 
Trilinos. To my surprise, Fipy actually runs faster without Trilinos, and by a 
significant margin. Could this be possible?

>python setup.py test --Trilinos
Ran 476 tests in 459.213s

>python setup.py test
Ran 476 tests in 363.934s

I believed I have setup Trilinos correctly to run on MPI as the suite of tests 
ran fine with no failure. Is this the correct way of invoking the Fipy test 
programs as I notice that only a single core is being utilised? I am using 
Fipy 2.0 with Trilinos 9.0.2
Thanks.
