You see the factorization time is significantly better (because their more compute-limited) but MatMult and MatSolve are about the same because they are limited by memory bandwidth. On most modern architectures, the bandwidth is saturated with 16 cores or so.<br>

If you haven't yet, I recommend trying to use AMG for this problem. You should call MatSetNearNullSpace() to set the rigid body modes and then use -pc_type gamg or (with external packages -pc_type ml and -pc_type hypre). The iteration count should be much less and solves reasonably fast.<br>
<br>
If you're interested in using different data structures, our experience is that we can solve similar problem sizes using Q2 elements in a few seconds (2-10) on a single node. <br>

> I'm using the GMRES with ASM preconditioner with sub-domain solver ILU(2) to solve an elasticity problem. First, I use 16 cores to test the computation time, then use 32 cores to run the same code with the same parameters. But I just get about 10% speed up. From the log file I found that the computation time of KSPSolve() and MatSolve() just decrease a little bit. My PETSc version is 3.16.0 and use --with-debugging=0 when configure it. The matrix size is about 7*10^6. Some detail of the log is shown below:<br>
