Hey everyone,

Quick question.  Is there some lower limit of orbitals per processor where it 
becomes more efficient to use _fewer_ processors?  For example, I assume for 12 
orbitals its more efficient to run on 6 nodes rather than 12, but in general 
how far can this be taken?

I realize that the answer to this is largely system specific, but can anyone 
give me an order of magnitude ballpark?  is this threshold say, 30 or 3,000?  I 
soon will be doing calculations with over 10,000 orbitals and I'm not sure how 
to distribute it.  Thanks in advance!

Best,
Rob Koch
