Hi,

FACTS:
             1) Running namd2
(/N/soft/linux-rhel4-x86_64/namd-2.7b2/NAMD_2.7b2_Linux-x86_64-
                 TCP/namd2) using charmrun
(/soft/linux-rhel4-x86_64/namd-2.7b2/
                  NAMD_2.7b2_Linux-x86_64-TCP/charmrun).

             2) Launch the run as follows:

                    charmrun namd2 ++remote-shell ssh ++verbose +netpoll
++nodelist nodelist2
                    ++ppn 8 ++p 16 inputfile

                    my nodefile looks like:
                    group main
                    host x087
                    host x089
                    host x093

                    Each node has 8 processors. Running on the command line
(not with torque or any
                    other queue system).

It works fine in the sense that my program finishes for the number of steps
I assigned. My concern is regarding to the simulation time, if I use "++p
8" the time this run lasts is 22min (measured with "time" command), but if
I use "++p 16" the time for the run is 20min.
I expected the simulation time to be reduce at least for a half, but it is
almost the same time.
Does anyone has a comment about this issue?

SIMULATION DETAILS:
        - periodic cubic box 70x70x70
        - 33933 atoms

thanks.
