ehsan benabbas confirmed that the question is solved:
Yes, you are right Jan. 
Just to mention, based on the formulation for Kn, we have Kn=E*r (if we assume 
E and r are constant for all particles)
While, based on the timestep calculation provided in the DEM formulation of the 
YADE website, in the section "Estimation of Δtcr
by wave propagation speed", this formula is Kn=E*D because π′ is equal to 2 in 
the classical DEM model (Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys) as implemented in 
Yade. 

My conclusion is that as the particle mass, young, and size changes the
timestep, it's not avoidable to have such a long runtime and the best
solution is multiprocessing using as many cores as we can provide.
Therefore, we can use E=Kn/D and need to think of a high-end PC or a
supercomputer.

Thank you for your comments,

Bests,
Ehsan
