[phenixbb] Phenix 1.18 RSR runtime

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Hannah,

it can be N times faster (N = number of available CPUs) if you use nproc 
to specify number of CPUs to use.

Alternatively you can disable the rotamer fitting step, which will bring 
the runtime back to previous "~1hrs" (but expect rotamer statistics go off).

If you send me files I am happy to check all is in order.
