vdw and scf convergence

Hi all,

I am running a MD simulation with PBE+D2. I found that the scf
convergence is noticeably slower than the one without vdw correction,
i.e. on average 5-6 times more scf steps. I suspect it might be
because the usual extrapolation method doesn't work so well for the
vdw correction. Does anyone see things similar, or just I miss
something?

Thanks,
Jun
