Hello again,

I am calculating the cohesive energy by finding the energy of a single atom. In 
my code, I am interested in calculating the cohesive energy for different 
cutoff energies (b in the code) while finding the optimised lattice constant (a 
in code).

The reason the code at the moment is only one value of cut off is that for only 
one run, the time taken is around one full day. I am not expecting that at all.

The lattice vectors are clearly larger than 10 A while using only one K point. 
Based on my parameters what is slowing down my code that much?

Thank you and looking forward to your reply.
