Of course, if accuracy is not in question then performance dominates. I have seen countless reports on this list and elsewhere where small changes in cutoffs lead to wildly incorrect behavior, affecting every force field. Thus, I am always extremely skeptical of such changes. The effects can be subtle but non-negligible.

I would be very interested in reading about some of these reports. I have searched the gromacs forum and I have found similar discussions but never accompanied by actual benchmarks with numbers, or maybe I have not searched carefully enough!
