Thank you Mernst for the strace tip; i will definitely try it.

I have not tried any disk based IO scheme; as far a i understand, i am using the default GA algorithm. Yet, large simulations produce huge files. I know storage mediums can never substitute RAM and i am planning to get as much memory as it fits in the motherboard. I was thinking that having fast disk access might still be somehow useful, but i may be wrong.

As for Intel compilers, are you sure they are free for academics? Their website lists Parallel Studio for C/C++ as an offer for students, but no Fortran compiler is mentioned.
