sumhfpara does not run in parallel simply because this is the program
which merges the vector files case.vectorhf_1, case.vectorhf_2,
etc. created by hf on processors 1, 2, etc.
Anyway, sumhfpara is very fast (a few seconds). This is hf which is very
expensive. How many k-points are you using for plotting band structure?
Maybe you should choose less k-points.
