Last night I measured the cost of the convertor initialization in ob1 on my
dual processor mac, using ompi-tests/simple/ping/mpi-ping, and it costs 0.02
to 0.03 microseconds. To be specific, I commented out the check for 0 byte
message size, and the latency went up from about 0.59 usec (this is with
modified code in tmp/latency) to about 0.62 usec.
