collective comms w/ SMP nodes

We are considering a cluster configuration with dual Pentium III nodes
connected by Myrinet.  Has anyone looked at the performance of
collective communication routines (all-to-all, etc.) using MPICH on
Myrinet with/without  SMP support?  It seems that collective
communications would be slow when multiple processors are sharing a PCI
bus.

Your help is much appreciated,
Matt
