Why simulation with PBE functional is too slow?

[huan... at mail.huji.ac.il]

Dear All,

I am now using CP2K to run MD simulations on the benzen-Zundel cation with 
BLYP and PBE functional, respectively. I use the same number of CPU, but 
for PBE functional, the speed is 3 times slower than BLYP. In addition, the 
calculation with PBE functional takes nearly whole the memory, shown below.

For BLYP functional-- Mem: 64380M total,  16753M used,  47626M free

For PBE functional--  Mem: 64380M total, 63976M used, 403M free

Is that common for PBE functional? 

Actually, I just copied the BLYP input file, and then changed the 
functional into PBE and added long range correction, C9 term. The rest of 
options, parameters, coordinates and basis sets are the same with BLYP 
input file.

I pasted my input file below. Can anyone give me some suggestion? I 
appreciate it very much. 

Best wishes,
Huan
