Thanks Mark.

My stats on this, GROMACS 4.0.7 compiled with gcc, run on two quad-core Xeon 
processors with 16GB of RAM, 100,000 atoms, PME, 200,000 steps

fftw 3.2.1 - 20,027 seconds

Intel cmkl - 19,792 seconds

So about 1.2% faster.

IIRC icc does a better job on mkl than gcc. Of course you need to make sure the PME job is being dominated by the FFT part to be sure you're measuring a relevant speed difference. The output at the end of the log file reveals this.
