[Wien] Regarding structure convergence

This core leakage is probably a bit large, even with core superposition 
(.lcore)

a) Are you sure that the calculations with E-cut -10 are more expensive 
??? The increase should be marginal.
b) Try what happens when O and P spheres are of the same size (reduce O 
and increase P) or even swap the O and P radii. If you are using RKmax=7 
and increase GMAX (case.in2) to 16, this should be fine.

Make 2 or 3 different calculations and compare the results.
