The oscilations in pressure are different, they are much bigger for an
integration time of 0.0001than for integration times of 0.001 or 0.0005.
I wouldn't base any conclusion on pressure or the fluctuations therein. These
quantities are extremely sensitive to any small change. As long as the averages
converge to (statistically) the same value, then there is no problem.

The timestep is involved in determining the coupling strength, so if you fix
tau_p and adjust dt, you will see differences. See manual section 3.4.9.
