  Justin,

   Do you have the -log_summary output for these runs?

> The performance difference between ML and HYPRE makes sense to me, but what I am really confused about is GAMG. It seems GAMG is really slow on a single core but something internally is causing it to speed up super-linearly as I increase the number of MPI processes. Shouldn't ML and GAMG have the same performance? I am not sure what log outputs to give you guys, but for starters, below is -ksp_view for the single core case with GAMG
