More in depth,

total execution time without Barrier is about 10000 sec.

Total execution time with Barrier+Reduce is 9453, with 128 procs.

Gabriele,

Can you clarify... those timings are what is reported for the reduction
call specifically, not the total execution time?

If so, then the difference is, to a first approximation, the time you
spend sitting idly by doing absolutely nothing waiting at the barrier.

Ciao
Terry
