Actually, I am running a small problem (10k cells) in parallel with 4 processors. The solution is ok, but I have a question about hypre preconditioning performance. I am using PCHYPRE with its default settings for the solution of pressure-correction equation. What I am getting is that the multigrid preconditioning is significantly slower than block jacoby in solving the equation even if the iteration needed to converge are ten time the AMG's one (50 vs 3-4). Is this related to the small size of the problem?</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It could be the setup time.
