Dear Giovanni,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Yes. That's my question. For my problem, BaRuO3, the disentaglement routine
is not getting converged (to the default 10^-10 value) even after 20,000
iterations (It reached only till 10^-8). Its taking ~ 1 day for running
20,000 steps. So, I need to increase the steps now.

Any suggestions for quicker convergence? Can I use the wannier90.x
parallely?

Thanking you,
Sincerely,
Sharma.
