The general rule of thumb is to aim for a few hundred or maybe a thousand atoms per processor. Given that you have in excess of 130,000 atoms per processor, I would say your observation of slow performance is entirely normal.

Actually, I correct myself, it's not even a 85x85x85 system, it's a 45x45x45

Performance depends mostly on the number of atoms.  You haven't provided that 
information, so it's hard to judge what you might expect.

Dear gromac users,

I submitted my NPT run into a MPI cluster. The size of my run system is an 
85x85x85 box filled with water solvent. and I set NPT steps to be 1000000 
(1million) with dt 0.02. The log says It will finish sometime in mid or towards 
end of february.

Is that normal for a NPT run of that size? Or am I just faced with slow 
technology. Or am I doing something wrong (I requested 6 cores for my run)
Please let me know, thanks.
