As Mikhail wrote in his first mail, he uses binaries from Gaussian Inc. Can 
gfortran in the mean time compile gaussian? Even if it can, it might be a 
problem for publications, since the only officially supported compiler is 
pgf77.
Mikhail, do you have the source at all? Due to the different cache model of 
the barcelona a recompilation might really help.

Yeah, can you check the scaling governor isn't set to ondemand or 
conservative?
