Comment(by troyer):

 The reason is that when sending anything other than MPI datatypes, the
 object is serialized by Boost.Serialization into a temporary buffer, which
 is then associated with the request object. Using isend with Boost.MPI one
 always has to wait for completion of the request and cannot discard it.
