[FLASH-USERS] Filling Guard Cells in Burn

[James Guillochon]

Hi guys,

So I'm using the nuclearBurn unit (FLASH 3.0), and the 
Grid_fillGuardCells routine at the top of Burn.F90 seems to be taking an 
inordinate amount of time to run. My simulation has sporadic burning and 
thus does not need the network to run at every time step, but the 
fillGuardCells routine is taking most of the processing time even with T 
<< nuclearTempMin!

The question is: Do I have to fill the guard cells if the temperature 
criteria for burning isn't met? Is there some reason the fillGuardCells 
routine is taking so long in this context?

Thanks!
