Comment (by kelman):

 Serial BLAS, as has been said. Sorry I didn't respond to your previous
 message. Changing linear solvers can definitely result in a different
 number of iterations. Always check the exit flag, if the solver exits
 because you told it to stop after a certain number of iterations, then it
 isn't done and you'll get a suboptimal result. The iteration limit that
 you had been setting with a better linear solver and threaded BLAS is
 probably too aggressive for the lower-performance configuration with Mumps
 and serial BLAS.
