Hi David,
Of course, it's not a dogma... But in your case, it will be well
thought over. That makes the difference. (From another point of view,
if the simulation system is small, often you'll still want temperature
coupling anyway...). Anyway, as with all gromacs warnings, they should
just make you think about the things you're doing. If you know it's
what you want, you can always ignore'm.

I've implemented the 10% of atoms test. Could be changed to a fixed
number of atoms as well. Not sure which one makes more sense (I quite
often simulate systems that fall under the fixed atom limit (didn't
Tsjerk say 50?)).
