 The script runs very quickly when the LBFGS optimizer is used. But see what happens if we switch to the BFGS optimizer instead (change the OPTIMIZER variable in the cp2k input file). Look at the timings that cp2k prints at the end of a run and see if you can see the culprit. Also look for warnings in your outputs. The script runs very quickly when the LBFGS optimizer is used.
