Subject: SGI_MP and sander 6

I just noticed that the shared memory parallel option is no longer
supported in sander version 6. Does using MPI on SGI Origin machines
introduce a performance hit vs. the old method? For example, if you
were able to run a calculation on an Origin using both sander classic
with SGI_MP turned on and using sander 6 with MPI, would you see a
performance difference?
