[CP2K:3882] Re: cp2k running speed drops dramatically

[Chetan Mahajan]

Hi Matt

I resubmitted this slow run and at least for the initial timesteps, it has
become much faster than old slow run and is in the normal range now. So it
probably seems suited to your guess that system is running ok, file system
was earlier slowing down for whatever reason.

I will check the progress and post it here in case I observe anything
different.

Thanks
Chetan
