[CP2K-user] MD with 1706 atoms - input suggestions?

[MD Simulation]

Hello,

I have a hydrated organic compound, a total of 1706 atoms of C, H, O, N, F, 
but mainly waters.

I would like to run molecular dynamics but SCF convergence is taking a very 
long time.

I have tried LC_SCF but still a bit slow.  I've attache my input and xyz 
file.  My big question right now....am I setting up the run correctly?

I have tried running on 240 CPUs and still slow.  I am using CP2K 7.1

Any ideas would be appreciated. My input file is also copy/pasted below.

Thanks for the help!
Stacey
