The postprocessing code was written having in mind the case in which one is interested to a single wavefunction or a small group of wavefunctions. If you use it for all wavefunctions, it will take a lot of time, since it calls 'addusdens' many times instead of one. The only solution is to modify the postprocessing code according to your needs.
