That's sounds okay, just need to be able to guarantee that no system errors can prevent us from finishing writing the -log_view.

If the user runs, for example, 10min they surely don't mind .5 seconds to get more useful information.

>>>>>> I'm using the GMRES with ASM preconditioner with sub-domain solver ILU(2) to solve an elasticity problem. First, I use 16 cores to test the computation time, then use 32 cores to run the same code with the same parameters. But I just get about 10% speed up. From the log file I found that the computation time of KSPSolve() and MatSolve() just decrease a little bit. My PETSc version is 3.16.0 and use --with-debugging=0 when configure it. The matrix size is about 7*10^6. Some detail of the log is shown below:
