compiling on XT5

[IBethune]

There is always going to be a trade-off between best performance and
efficient use of resources (i.e. cost/CPU-hours).

Generally, Pathscale is found to give the best performance of the
compilers on the XT, and you should use the most recent xt-libsci
(BLAS, Sca/LAPACK etc.), fftw and xt-mpt modules, as these do provide
real performance benefits over older versions.

Using only a sub-set of the cores on the node may give some
improvement, and if you want to use OpenMP, make sure you are using a
recent version from CVS as this is under constant development.
