Hi Roman
Note that in 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 the default ("-mca mpi_leave_pinned 1")
had a glitch. In my case it appeared as a memory leak.
See this:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2009/05/9173.php
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/announce/2009/03/0029.php
One workaround is to revert to
"-mca mpi_leave_pinned 0" (which is what I suggested to you)
when using 1.3.0 or 1.3.1.
The solution advocated by OpenMPI is to upgrade to 1.3.2.
You reported you used "1.3", besides 1.2.6 and 1.2.8.
If this means that you are using 1.3.0 or 1.3.1,
you may want to try the workaround or the upgrade,
regardless of any scaling performance expectations.

I've been using --mca mpi_paffinity_alone 1 in all simulations. Concerning "-mca
mpi_leave_pinned 1", I tried it with openmpi 1.2.X versions and it
makes no difference.
Best regards

Actually for 1.2.X version I will recommend you to enable leave pinned "-mca
mpi_leave_pinned 1"
sure if the problems were fixed on 1.3.2, but I am hanging on to that
setting just in case.
We had data corruption issue in 1.3.1 but it was resolved in 1.3.2. In 1.3.2
version leave_pinned is enabled by default.
If I remember correct mvapich enables affinity mode by default, so I can
recommend you to try to enable it too:
"--mca mpi_paffinity_alone 1". For more details please check FAQ -
