If your topology is not changing, then you need only construct a new 
pseudo-trajectory for the n configurations whose energy you want, and 
then run mdrun -rerun using the same .tpr every time. Even if the 
topology can change, for doing lots of iterates, some kind of hash will 
allow you to reuse previously generated .tpr files very cheaply.
