There is no way to know what you mean by the term "acceptable". You should
think about what you wish to learn from the simulation, and study papers that
address problems similar to the ones you are interested.
Having said that, 100ps is a very short amount of time, by modern standards.
Your protein is undoubtedly still relaxing away from the starting structure
towards the closest free energy basin in whatever force field you are using.
