 When running the sample from the ETK/gallery page the number of OpenMP
 threads seems to be limited to 2, showing only 200% in top, although 16
 OMP threads were used.

 Other param files from /par go way beyond 1000%, showing that more threads
 are fully used.

 Could it be that there is a omp_set_num_threads(2) somewhere in the hydro
 code?

 Creating 1 MPI process per core fixes the issue, obviously, and the CPU is
 fully utilized
