I would really suggest looking at George's note first as I think you
are chasing your tail here. It sounds like the most likely problem is
that OMPI thinks you are oversubscribed and is setting sched_yield
accordingly. which would fully account for these diffs.
Note that the methods for setting sched yield are different between
the various releases, so something could be catching you here. If you
are sure you aren't oversubscribing, then set -mca mpi_yield_when_idle
0 on your cmd line to override any internal settings.

Steve,
Did you rebuild 1.2.9? As I see you have static libraries, maybe
there's
a lurking phthread or something else that may have changed over time?

Yes. I downloaded 1.2.9, 1.3, and 1.3.1, all within minutes of each
other. All are configured with --enable-static --disable-shared.
Each is installed in its own directory under /usr/local and
I use full patch names to mpicc and mpiexec.
I just rebuilt 1.3.1 without --enable-static --disable-shared.
There is no change in performance. 1.3.1 is a factor of 10
slower than 1.2.9 with messages of ~10KB and smaller.
I've used svn to grab trunk. Once I determine how to build
the trunk, I'll do a binary search to see if I can identify
the revision where the problem first occurs.
