The performance of TIP5P is sub-optimal and certainly much worse than
TIP4PEW or even SPC/E or TIP3P. Therefore, when we developed the Joung
(ionsjc) parameters we did not even consider TIP5P. I cannot comment on
how any of the current ion parameters would perform; you would have to
test this, but I would not waste cycles on TIP5P unless you have a very
compelling reason (and minimally I would look to Ewald corrected TIP5P
parameters)... --tec3
