That's unfortunately a highly subjective request. There is no definitive
answer that I could speak of.
Some fairly objective experience - reducing the cutoff and switch
distance while using an LJcorrection can give ~10% speedup without
statistically changing NpT quantities, at least for small water boxes. I
couldn't say what this will do for heterogenous protein and/or membrane
systems (there have been some papers on this in the last decade or so).
HTH,
Brian
