OK, but my point is that if you know you need constraints=all-bonds, then you 
need a bigger system before GROMACS will be able to parallelise it.

the double one! 

Sure, doing EM in double is standard advice for preparing for NMA.

  > I also don’t have too much idea about choosing which ensemble to conduct 
covariance analysis. I’ve noticed that temperature coupling would ‘correct’ the 
motion of the atoms. I think a more ‘natural’ trajectory with least artifact 
should be generated for covariance analysis. Any comments about this?
One "always" wants accurate thermodynamic sampling of the target ensemble. What 
ensemble to target depends mostly on your simulation objective. NPT usually 
makes the most sense for comparision with experimental data. You should read up 
on the algorithms that regulate T and P to see what the wisest choices may be 
with respect to accurate sampling, because there are sound reasons for one 
choice or another. Start with the GROMACS manual.
