[CPMD-list] 143 steps too long?

[Matt wagner]

I am doing  single point calculation for density minimization on BH4, 
cation.   Everything worked fined, but took 143 steps to complete.  Is this 
too long?  Incorrect?  I first used ODIIS and it took more than 1000 steps 
for wavefunction optimization.  When I used PCG Minimizer, that is when I 
got it down to 143 steps.  This was all done using the Vanderbelt 
psuedopotential.  The manual says that steps larger than 100 is to be 
considered slow. Does slow mean inaccurate in this case?  Any suggestions 
would be greatly appreciated.  Below is my input file:
