Why is the enthalpy new increasing slowly during vc-relax? However, if enthalpy new is more than old, it should stop.

not necessarily, as long as it goes down at the following steps

      enthalpy           old  =    -624.0653600929 Ry
      enthalpy           new  =    -624.0653600882 Ry

this difference is extraordinarily small. Set more sensible (i.e. larger) thresholds for convergence.
