Hi!
I have never employed ptraj clustering facilities but, in general,
clustering algorithms scale with the square of the number of elements
involved. Try to do it with a lower number of snapshots, may be not using
all the snaps of your trajectory but, let's say, only one each five... I'm
afraid that if you employ all of them, it would take really long...
