Make sure you don't use a "debug" build of Open MPI. If you use trunk, the build system detects it and turns on debug by default. It really kills performance. --disable-debug will remove all those nasty printfs from the critical path.

You can easily tell if you have a debug build of OMPI with the ompi_info command:

shell$ ompi_info | grep debug
 Internal debug support: no
Memory debugging support: no
shell$
Yes. It is "no"
$ /opt/ompi127/bin/ompi_info -all | grep debug
  Internal debug support: no
Memory debugging support: no

I've tested GROMACS for a single process (mpirun -np 1):
Here are the results:

OpenMPI : 120m 6s

MPICH2 :  67m 44s

I'm trying to bulid the codes with PGI, but facing problem with compilation of GROMACS.

You want to see "no" for both of those.
