For a metal, not sure it works well, though. Since you are using UltraSoft PseudoPotentials, try option "tqr=.true." (real-space treatment of augmentation functions): it should give a significant speedup. Another significant improvement is contained in the forthcoming 6.0 version of QE, but it doesn't work yet for USPP<span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div><span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div class="gmail_extra">Paolo<br></div>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Paolo Giannozzi, Dip.
