Got it. Tried gprof but it didn't show much difference to non-mpi. So I
tested recompiling with OpenMPI instead of MPICH2 and that put the
figures back to more like normal. There still is a significant
performance hit though, despite we're not actually doing any MPI stuff
in this case. I'm glad I don't see this kind of performance hit when
cracking.

I didn't change one single line of code, just recompiled it with openmpi
libs.
