pmemd is much faster than sander for solvated simulations, but the difference
in peformance (and in parallel scaling) is much smaller for generalized Born
calculations.
Are you sure you need to have a cutoff of 999? Also, I would strongly
recommed using ntt=3 (not ntt=1) for these simulations (see discussion in the
Users' Manual under the ntt variable: "ntt=1 is especially dangerous for GB
simulations....").
