just my opinion, i may be way off base.
no, not at all - it's not surprising that something with a chipset from 2 years ago will spank it. The 6500 is a great GE aggregator switch, but only a mediocre 10G platform. Retro-fitting high density 10G on a backplane dating from the early 2000s is not really a viable option if you actually need to push lots of data through it, so it's not surprising that it's no good for HPC.
If you can live within their limitations, the current generation of 10G top-of-rack switches provide ridiculously good value.
