I'm not sure whether it was the case with 1.8, but according to the man page it 
binds now to sockets for number of processes > 2 . And this can lead the effect 
that one sometimes may notice a drop in performance when just this socket has 
other jobs running (by accident).

So, this is solved - I wasn't aware of the binding by socket.

But I can't see a binding by core for number of processes <= 2. Does it mean 2 
per node or 2 overall for the `mpiexec`?
