Is anybody else trying out new lam builds [nightly snapshots] with
infiniband?

I'm seeing sharp scaling performance drops in bandwidth as I scale from
8x2 -> 16x2 [couple hundred MB/s drops to 10s of MB/s]. mpich2-1.0.1
doesn't have this issue and performs well out to at least 64x2.

If anybody's got hints on ways to get better performance from:

   setenv LAM_MPI_SSI_rpi ib

...I'd like to hear them.
