[petsc-dev] testexamples using too many processes

[Lisandro Dalcin]

At least one test for DMDA executes in 32 processes. My desktop
machine has 8 cores, my laptop just 4. Running testexamples make them
totally unresponsive for a while. Any ideas about how to improve this?

mpiexec -n 32 ./ex36 -mx 5 -my 5 -mz 5 -nl 3 -dim 3 -cmap 1
-da_refine_x 1 -da_refine_y 3 -da_refine_z 4
