Regarding colvar distancez

Dear all,
            I am using the fallowing colvar (distancez) to do umbrella
sampling.I used ref { atomNumbersRange 1-30208} to define reference
group,It makes simulation very slow (~1ns/4days) but If I use ref {
dummyAtom (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)} simulation is as fast as normal MD (~4ns/day).
If I used the dummy atom, the actual distance between center of masses
between two groups are not maintaining. I checked mailing list but I did
not find any discussion on this problem. I will appreciate any suggestions
in this regard.

Regards,
Subbarao Kanchi.
