I am inclined to try
Barry's experiment first, since this may have bugs that we have not yet discovered.

Ok, I tried Barry’s suggestion. The runtime for PetscOptionsFindPair_Private() fell from 14% to mere 1.6%.
If I am getting it right, it’s the petsc options in the KSPSolve() that is sucking up nontrivial amount of time (14 - 1.6)
and not KSPSetFromOptions() itself (1.6%).

Barry / Matt / Jed, if we were using KSPReset here and reusing KSPs, would that also bypass these calls to PetscOptionsXXX?

Thanks,
