Interlaced vectors.

[Barry Smith]

  You can simply create the vector with VecCreateGhost() with 
n and N 3 times as big, nghost 3 times as big and the 
ghosts[] array three times as long. (filled with 3*ghosts[0], 
3*ghosts[0]+1,3*ghosts[0]+2,3*ghosts[1],3*ghosts[1]+1,3*ghosts[1]+2, etc
where ghosts is what you use currently.
