[petsc-dev] Seeking OLCF users complaining about poor build times

Ok, so I am not sure I got all that, but here goes some more information
(attached log).

No packages / master

[nate at titan] time python no_packages.py

[nate at titan] cat no_packages.py

I can add packages too, just let me know if that is still interesting.
