I have heard that Open MPI's TCP latency on EC2 is horrid.  I actually talked 
with some Amazon / EC2 folks about it at SC'11 a few weeks ago; we set a date 
to dive into it a bit deeper in December.

No promises on when/if the TCP latency will improve, but it's definitely 
something that we're looking at.  My first *guess* is that it might have 
something to do with specifying btl_tcp_if_include / oob_tcp_if_include 
improperly (or not at all) -- but that's a SWAG.
