[gmx-users] Questions on reducing large loading imbalance

[Szilárd Páll]

13% is not that large and as far as I can tell the dynamic load
balancing has not even kicked in (the above message would show the
min/average cell volume due to the domain rescaling).

You can try manually turning on load balancing with -dlb yes.
