Which command line do you use to run the ping pong test ?

On my Dual PIII at 1 GHz, using PCI64C cards, I get 10 us for 4 Bytes.

Trying to find a ping pong code on the web was not easy either. I had to
write my own, and it's not a perfect one.

Peak bandwidth is roughly the same than MPICH-GM, aka 245 MB/s on L9 at
200 MHz.
