You should look at the MDINFO file, which should be written when the MDOUT
file is updated. It will show you how much time is being used, and estimate
how much time there is still to go. Maybe the time for 10,000 steps is more
the the wall clock limit(?)

If it's not just the wall clock limit, my best suggestion is to print more
often, to see if that offers hints.
