I would have to look back at the code to remember exactly how it works, but
respa trajectories are indeed pulsed, I think in terms of the longrange
component. I don't think there is really that big a benefit associated with
using respa in reality (there are some issues involved in loadbalancing that
make it hard to fully benefit from only doing the longrange forces every
second or fourth step, given the way the code is currently written).
