[mesa-users] Running Speeds of MESA

[Kenny Van]

Hi Glasman,

You could always try to limit the outputs of mesa by modifying the
history file. Increasing size of timestep would also speed it up. But
other than those minor changes I'm not sure what you could do to
improve run speeds on a persona setup.
