Which is the preferred parallel direct solver? MUMPS or SPOOLES?

Probably depends on the system, but in my experiences MUMPS has been
better. However, the Debian/Ubuntu PETSc packages are configured with
SPOOLES, but not MUMPS.

ok, I'm trying out MUMPS now.

Harish: Perhaps --download-mumps=yes should be added to petsc.package
in Dorsal?

It requires a few more flags than just '--download-mumps=yes' as you'll soon see ;).
