There's a third hypothesis - the domain decomposition (DD) algorithm 
requires various parameters that you can give to mdrun to make it cope 
better with atypical simulation systems. You can experiment with them.

To help further, we'd have to know more about your simulation system, 
equilibration protocol, execution environment and mdrun command line.
