Here are the results with -mca mpi_leave_pinnedThe results are as expected, they are exactly similar to the mpich results. Thank you for the help. I have attached a plot with all three and the raw data for anyones viewing pleasure.
Im still curious about does mpi_leave_pinned affect real jobs if its not included? for the most part for large messages of the size used in this test will never be seen. So the effect should be negligible? Clarification? Note I am a admin not a MPI programmer have very lax experience with real code.

Ill provide new numbers soon with the --mac mpi_leave_pinned 1 I'm currious how does this affect real application performace? This ofcourse is a synthetic test using NetPipe. For regular apps that move decent amounts of data but want low latency more. Will that be affected?

You can force this by ading the "--mca mpi_leave_pinned 1" to your mpirun command or by adding it into the Open MPI configuration file as specified on the FAQ (section performance). I think that should bethe main reason what you're seeing a such degradation of performances.If this does not solve your problem, can you please provide the new performance as well as the output of the command "ompi_info --param all all".
