SSH is only used for launching processes; even that, only when you are 
launching on a remote node.  The internal communication in MPICH 
obviously does not use ssh.

Since you are just using the local node, the launcher within mpiexec 
should be FORK, not SSH.  Similarly, all local node communication within 
MPICH should use shared memory.  No SSH anywhere.
