Dear Abinit Users,

I tried to adopt PAW pseudopotential for simple Fe bulk, but found that 
the cost is about ten times slower comparing with ordinary TM type 
pseudopotential. 

Table I. validation of bcc-Fe on ibm, pwr4 with two processors:
=========================
pot type        cpu time
                (sec.)
-------------------------
TM              5.4
PAW             50.7
=========================

is there any parameter I can tune to make it faster? or this is quite 
normal when dealing with PAW. Thanks in advance.

BR,
J
