Can't it be that two processors have already done their job, while the
other two still work as their matrix is larger (more eigenvalues)? When
calculation is long I always see that cores stop working one after
another, till all of them fulfill lapw1, and then they go to lapw2 all
together.
How do you see this behavior? Look in the dayfile, there should be
information about how many time was given to the task by each core.
