[petsc-dev] [Minor issue] Lag during PetscInitialize on Fedora 36 (never seen before with other OS)

[Satish Balay]

I'm seeing this behavior on a laptop - but not desktop [both F36] (with both mpich and openmpi buids)

>>>> laptop/mpich <<<<
balay at p1 /home/balay/petsc/src/ksp/ksp/tests (main =)
$ sleep 30; time ./ex39; time ./ex39

real	0m1.709s
user	0m0.079s
sys	0m0.042s

real	0m0.116s
user	0m0.077s
sys	0m0.014s
<<<<

However --with-mpi=0 is fine

>>>>
balay at p1 /home/balay/petsc/src/ksp/ksp/tests (main =)
$ sleep 30; time ./ex39; time ./ex39

real	0m0.116s
user	0m0.108s
sys	0m0.008s

real	0m0.081s
user	0m0.072s
sys	0m0.008s
<<<<<

Here is the desktop run (with mpich)

>>>
[balay at pj01 tests]$ sleep 30; time ./ex39; time ./ex39

real    0m0.065s
user    0m0.033s
sys     0m0.019s

real    0m0.053s
user    0m0.029s
sys     0m0.013s
<<<<

And --with-mpi=0

>>>
[balay at pj01 tests]$ sleep 30; time ./ex39; time ./ex39

real    0m0.087s
user    0m0.046s
sys     0m0.015s

real    0m0.024s
user    0m0.018s
sys     0m0.006s
<<<

But don't know why its behaving this way [on the laptop]
