There aren't any, really. It's not in a user's interest to make GROMACS 
slower and less memory-efficient. You could presumably try to increase 
cutoff values, but I don't know if that will have a predictable impact 
on performance because then you're just shifting work from PME to 
short-range Coulombic forces.
