[gmx-users] molecule order optimization?

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi Michael,

Future versions will probably have dedicated loops for 4 & 5 particle 
waters, but for
3.1.x you can get a slight speed improvement from the general solvent 
loops by
ordering your waters so that atoms with LJ+Coulomb come first, then 
atoms with
coulomb only and finally atoms with LJ only.

Cheers,

Erik
