You would have to modify the code so that the vdwmeth correction is called
even when use_pme is set to 0. Maybe someone on the list (e.g. Tom Darden)
will volunteer, but you should not hold your breath.
There should not be a big difference with/without PME. Since all your charges
are zero, you can set up a very coarse PME grid (i.e. small values of
nfft1,2,3), which should minimize the time spent in reciprocal space. Even
with the default values, your timing comment is surprising (unless you are
either using lot of parallel processes, or you have a very large unit cell...)
