Thomas,

It looks like you are asking FEAP to solve the equations multiples times. Perhaps you have a nonlinear problem with a Newton loop?

This is not a fair comparison. Edit your run script to only perform 1 (one) solve "tang,,1" (No Newton loops), then compare.

(Log files attached)

However, the solution time did not decrease and I still needed to call KSPSolve 
3 times although I had -mg_levels_ksp_max_it 1.

Please find enclosed the log summary for the runs.

I used the following options for Prometheus and GAMG:
Prometheus:
-ksp_type cg -pc_type prometheus -log_summary -ksp_monitor -ksp_view 
-aggmg_smooths 1 -options_left
GAMG:
-ksp_type cg -pc_type gamg -pc_gamg_type agg -pc_gamg_agg_nsmooths 1 
-log_summary -ksp_monitor -ksp_view -options_left
This is a pretty small problem, but switch back to a single smoothing
iteration -mg_levels_ksp_max_it 1.  An alternative is
-mg_levels_ksp_type richardson -mg_levels_pc_type sor.

Note that you are calling KSPSolve 3 times with GAMG, but only once with
Prometheus.
