I think so. Minimizations also use different parallelization scheme than MD (although not *that* different). So it’s possible you won’t see this limitation in MD.
In any case, 16 CPUs for a 34-residue peptide in implicit solvent is most likely overkill. I would stick to 8 (or maybe even 4 -- you would have to benchmark to find the optimum number of CPUs for your system).
