I just want to state that I have also found that MPI_Send/MPI_Recv and
MPI_Isend/MPI_Irecv have very similar performance when used in a 4th
Order Finite Difference code. However, it is a little easier to code
the Isend/Irecv communication than the Send/Recv communication because
you don't have to worry about deadlocks....The communication pattern on
the other hand makes a significant difference.

That's my 2 cents.
