Dear VASP community,
Is it normal that a CRTA calculation takes more computing time than a SERTA calculation, even though I kept the same input parameters (Ecut, KPOINTS, POTCAR)?
Both INCAR files are attached
Thanks in advance for your help
CRTA calculation takes longer than SERTA with identical settings

Dear hamza_bouafia_LGP,
Thank you for your question.
I see that in these two calculations you use different tags that could affect the performance. Also, it would be helpful to know how large the difference in the compute time is. Could you please provide all the relevant input and output files (see guidelines). Most importantly the OUTCARs.
Best wishes,
Alexey
