No speedup using Intel MKL libraries?

[Faraz H]

I built cp2k 4.1 using the toolchain script using default gcc 4.9. I then 
built another executable with the toolchain with gcc 4.9 and the MKL 
libraries ( Parallel Studio 2016 ). I do not see any speed difference 
between the two executable . 

I am running the H20-128.inp file. It takes around 7 minutes on a machine 
with 28 cpus (  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz ) .  Is this 
normal or should I be seeing some measurable speed improvement? Here is the 
output of ldd on the two executables:

gcc4.9 only:
