As has been noted here, some performance problems arise because of
less-than-optimal optimizations by the compiler, excessive procedure
calls etc.  However, I am curious if there are any articles in the
literature reporting performance problems caused by rendezvous (or
remote procedure calls).  For instance, it is possible to have several
communicating processes limit each others throughput without fully
utilizing the hardware resources on which they run because the tasks
are blocked waiting for replies from remote processors.

Send email.  I will summarize.
  Thanks

Overwhelm them with small bugs so they don't see the big ones.
