Not all systems can efficiently parallelize on arbitrary numbers of
processors for a given implementation. There's an analysis at the
top of the .log file that describes the issues leading to the
minimum cell size. Possibly there's an issue there, but more likely
you've got not enough work for your processors.<br>
