no parallel speedup with slepc krylovschur

[Barry Smith]

   Running with -log_summary will tell you WHERE the code is taking  
the time and what parts are faster and slower on two processors, this  
will help you track down the problem.
Absent this information it is impossible to know why it is not  
speeding up.
