Dear Nicolas,
                 My simulation is giving more or less similar time result.
With a system 15500 atoms in a single processor system of 2.66 GHz (0.8 nm
with PME) in a fedora 9 OS with GNU compiler it is taking 6 hours to
complete 150 ps simulation. My computer has 4 processors but the job is
running in 1 processor only. By any means can I distribute by jobs in all
the processors.
