Re: [phenixbb] advice for speeding up cif_as_mtz

Hi Eric,

I'm currently running cif_as_mtz and model_vs_data on the whole PDB as part of my dissertation. Time has become a critical concern, and cif_as_mtz (dev-1141) is running very, very slowly (1-4 minutes per entry).

clearly something is wrong, as the command you quoted should take from few to ~10-30 seconds, not minutes.

Here's how I'm calling it:

phenix.cif_as_mtz --ignore-bad-sigmas --merge --remove-systematic-absences --map-to-asu --symmetry= --output-file-name=

Clearly I missed a moment when "--ignore-bad-sigmas" was added, otherwise I would pick up on this earlier. What is the definition of "bad-sigmas"? Thanks, Pavel
