Do you need to create new objects versus merely resetting them?  I
suspect that calling KSPReset() between timesteps instead of creating a
new object and calling KSPSetFromOptions() will fix your performance
woes.

We definitely need to destroy Mat associated with KSP everytime. This is a dynamic fluid-structure
interaction problem on AMR grid, where the Cartesian grid and the structure moves at every timestep.
Is it possible to reset a KSP with a different Mat? Are you suggesting to call KSPCreate() and
KSPSetFromOptions() only once at the beginning of simulation, KSPReset() after every timestep,
and KSPDestroy() at the end of the simulation?
