[Users] mass estimation of neutron star

If you want to save overall resources you could reduce the number of
cores used (assuming you do not run out of memory). For example running
on 32 cores will make it run slower but not by a factor of 48/32 so
that the total resources (number-of-cores * hours-used) goes down.

You could also try reducing (slightly!) the resolution eg by a factor
of 1.25 which would make the simulation cheaper (but also loose
significantly in accuracy). Finally you could try and make the
simulation domain smaller, which safes a bit but not a whole lot
usually.

You can also try and see if reducing the amount of output produced
makes any difference (though that is unlikely). This is the
outXXX_every parameters and generally everything with an _every in its
name.

Yours,
Roland
