<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The simulations are quite short (just a week or so), but I’ve noticed the majority of the computational time is dedicated to some sort of initialization, i.e. a 1 week simulation takes about 4 s, and a 2 week simulation
under 5 s. Is there any way I can shave down this time (since making the simulations shorter has diminishing returns)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
