   Are you sure the KSPSetOptionsPrefix() is called before the KSPSetFromOptions()? It appears the prefix is not being set correctly.

   From the limited data below it is running multigrid with one level (hence you cannot expect great performance). You need to at least provide MG with a bit more information like how many levels you would like it to use.
