Description

[Imported from JIRA, posted by @hyperthunk Tim Watson at 26/Apr/13 7:16 PM as DP-76]

Some initial investigation suggests that this doesn't have much effect on message passing efficiency though. I'm not totally surprised, and I suspect any micro-benchmarks we come up with will vary considerably between applications. Hmph.
