Hello, As I understand from my small experience, PBE0 (or hybrids in general) is not just a question of time but also of memory. So it is better to run these calculations on supercomputers. From PBE to PBE0 requires 10 to 1000 times more CPU depending on the system. If for a given system you can use 250 k-points for a SCF calculation with a GGA, you will be limited to say 30-50 k-points (perhaps even less) with a hybrid.
If I am correct and if possible for you, I suggest you use the hybrid HSE functional, which is based on the range-separated Exx potential evaluation, as this may save you a lot of CPU time (I am not sure for the memory usage).
