Hi,

 I did the test with the simple program as shown below.
  (I use mumps, which is a parallel linear solver.)

 This test program does nothing but just calls intialize &
 finalize routine of MUMPS & MPI.

      INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
      INCLUDE 'dmumps_struc.h'
      TYPE (DMUMPS_STRUC) MUMPS_PAR
c
      MUMPS_PAR%COMM = MPI_COMM_WORLD
      MUMPS_PAR%SYM = 1
      MUMPS_PAR%PAR = 1
      MUMPS_PAR%JOB = -1     ! INITIALIZE MUMPS
      CALL MPI_INIT(IERR)
      CALL DMUMPS(MUMPS_PAR)
c
      CALL MPI_COMM_RANK( MPI_COMM_WORLD, MYID, IERR )
      IF ( MYID .EQ. 0 ) CALL SLEEP(180) ! WAIT 180 SEC.
c
      MUMPS_PAR%JOB = -2     ! FINALIZE MUMPS
      CALL DMUMPS(MUMPS_PAR)
      CALL MPI_FINALIZE(IERR)
c
      END

command line : mpirun -host node06,node05 -np 16 ./testrun

Results:

 User & System CPUs are quite different between two versions.
 Waiting processes are counted as USER CPU in openmpi 1.4.2,
 while they are counted as USER & SYSTEM CPU in openmpi 1.4.3.
 Something in the MUMPS intialize routine might affect SYSTEM CPU.

          node06 CPU  | node05 CPU
openmpi   usr sys idl | usr sys idl
1.4.2      88   0  12 | 100   0   0
1.4.3      41  47  12 |  44  56   0

* process id of node06:  0-07
  process id of node05: 08-15
  ( total 16 process )

* see attacehd file which is a snap shot of GANGLIA.
