Which program are you using? How many nodes do you have, and what is the
nature of the interconnect between nodes?

SGLD is probably not the culprit here. You can easily compare timings for a
short run with and without SGLD to compare timings.

You can try this. I doubt that it will affect the timings, but you can easily
enough experiment to find out. I'd suggest trying some test simulations with
many fewer waters, to get a feeling for what is affecting your performance.
Don't forget to try fewer cores as well.
