am still playing with this complex dielectric issue. I am running
two ctl files listed below. The first, sea_fake.ctl runs in about 75s
having only real dielectrics ie water with zero conductiivty. The second
which simulates the same situation but with complex dielectric set by
using a seawater conductivitty of 4S/m takes over 200000s to run!
I'm using meep which responds to the meep -V command with:
Probably something is blowing up, and so you're seeing the CPU slow down
because of floating-point exceptions.
(polarizations
(make polarizability
(omega 1e-20) (gamma 1e13) (delta-epsilon 4.5e65))

Try to use smaller values for these things, e.g. put resonances not at
omega=0. I've noticed that trying to put a resonance at omega near zero
like this can lead to instabilities.
