OK. So it will use more memory. What about speed? Are
these these gonna start in parallel, or will they be
serialized?

It is just a 3x3x3 supercell for Mg with 1 atom taken
out (53 atoms total). The cutoff is 28. Ry, nbndx=477,
nbnd=64,natomsfc=477,npwx=20727,nelec=106.0,nkb=212,ngl=6878
The k point grid is {4 4 4 1 1 1}, so the total
number of k points after the symmetry is 52.
Perhaps I am missing some obvious parameter that can
reduce that file size?
I was gonna let this thing run for a few days on a
local machine. Now it is probably better to go to a
bigger system, and run true multiprocessor.
