Try reducing the cutoff (to say, 20 Ang.). Also see if lowering the number of
cores makes the program go faster (depends a *lot* on the details of your
machine, so it is hard to make generalizations.) Also check whether the
presence of a non-zero value for icnstph is having an effect on timings.
If you do the run in pieces, set ntx=5 and irest=1 when you restart, using
the restart file from the first run as the input to the second run.
