[gmx-users] Since "nstlist has no effect on the accuracy"

Exactly. The penalty of large nstlist is large buffer (rlist), but up
to 40-50 with CPUs and up to 100 with GPUs is quite realistic.

Hint: in 4.6.x you can use GMX_NSTLIST to override the value set in
the mdp. From 5.0 there will be a command line option.
