[CP2K-user] Problems performing calculations using k-points

[Travis]

Hi,

What sort of problem are you experiencing? From your setup, it looks like 
the most pressing issue might be that it takes ages to run a geometry/cell 
optimization. I think you're already thinking in the right direction to use 
a smaller cell or fewer kpoints for the optimization and more kpoints for a 
final energy calculation.
