Tests done by me, @cindytsai and @chrishavlin suggest that parallelism in particular is greatly limited by the amount of duplicated indexing that goes on across MPI tasks.
This is an experiment to see how we fare with turning off pre-counting, which should greatly reduce the amount of time spent in the counting routines, and potentially speed things up overall.
