I'm not sure but I seem to remember that IMB uses two application buffers and alternates which one it uses, this itself will double the memory requirement. You should be able to plot performance against max message size and see where the drop off occurs. I've always used the compile options to specify max message size and rep count, the -msglen option is not one I've seen before. Ashley Pittman.
