[petsc-users] Benchmarking different PETSc installations

[Tabrez Ali]

You can start by benchmarking MatMult which I guess is one of the 
heavily used kernels native to PETSc.

Based on few runs (attached), which I tried a while back, I am yet to 
see a large difference across different compilers (for MatMult).

Also for some reason I was not able to use -fast with Intel and -O3 with 
Open64 compilers (PETSc's build system was complaining and I dont 
exactly remember why).
