The supercells were generated from the QE-7.1/PW/example08 unitcell. The inputs and outputs are uploaded in:</div>

<div style="font-family: Tahoma; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;">The results for low number of atoms seems to take reasonable times, but for larger ones the time to calculate force becomes larger than the time for just one iteration.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;">Do you see any un-normal behavior in force calculation routine?</div>

<div style="font-family: monospace, courier new, courier">Not sure what you mean exactly. As a rule of thumb, the calculation of<br />
the Hubbard contribution to forces should take no more than 1/3 or 1/4,<br />
likely much less than that, of the time needed for a scf calculation, at<br />
least for the simple ("atomic") U projection.<br />
