[Pw_forum] Doubt in computation time

[vega lew]

you could perform a small test job. In the test job,  you could do two
single point energy calculations: one with absolute coordinates, the other
with fractional coordinates. For small system, the test would be finish in a
minute. then you could compare the wall time reported by the output files.
