Comment (by hinder):

 The problem is that all existing parameter files would need to be modified
 to include activation of SystemTopology, otherwise they will run very
 slowly.  There is no warning about this; using the same parameter file
 that worked before, you just get really bad performance.  People probably
 also have their own thornlists which don't activate SystemTopology.  I
 think the best option would be to correct the affinity settings on
 stampede, so that they don't cause the code to be slow.  Is it clear that
 they are wrong?
