would it be fair to assume that, if we assume the opa library is
optimized for intra-node using shared memory, there shouldn't be much
of a difference between the opa library and the ompi library for local
rank to rank comms

is there a way or tool to measure that?  i'd like to run the tests
toggling opa vs ompi libraries and see if or really how much a
difference there is
