Jakub,

I also ran varying the number of threads and found no difference - or at
least no difference worth bothering about.

Are you just seeing differences in your plots - because it could be a
problem in whatever you are using to plot the data. Look at the raw data
per model step.

Anyway - let me know - I am about to go to sleep for the night - I am
interested in this since it may affect what I am working upon.

Regards,

Grant
