[Mesa-users] Switching MESA-r9798 to the newest version r24.3.01

[Kit Yu Lau]

Dear all,

I used the most updated version of mesa to run X-ray bursts. Comparing with
the old version (mesa-r9798) . It is much slower. I spent 10 days for the
new version to get 2 bursts but the old version I spent 3 days to get 5
bursts. All the input files are the same for both versions. Is there any
way to speed up the new version? Thank you very much.

Regards,
Rita Lau
