As far as I'm concerned, it's over, but I'm sure the same issue will
come up again; that's the way life is.

I would disagree with this sentence. Large MPI applications which I
have used have not used things like collective operations. So it's
easy to stare at a big set of microbenchmarks and not learn anything
about the scaling of an MPI application. Bisection bandwidth, now
that's interesting.
