EXX: grid of k+q point setup nkqs =         42

that is the grid for the Fock operator is as dense as the regular Monkhorst-Pack grid.

Does all this correspond to an expected behavior of pwscf?

Yes it does. Well, I think it does, you do not say how many irreducible k-point you have in your system.

nqX=1 means that wfcs at each kpoint only exchange with wfcs at the same kpoint. What you ar thinking is having wfcs at any k-point only exchange with wfcs at the Gamma point.

A big limiting factor with EXX calculations is that CPU time scales with the square of the number of k-points. By setting nqX to a fixed value the scaling becomes linear again when nk is bigger than nq.
