[Users] Vectorization issue

This looks disconcerting. Using vectorization or not should only
affect things at the round-off level (the same way parallelization
does).

The vectorization settings you show look good.

I'd like to dig deeper.

- Is your source code public, or would you be willing to share it with
a few developers?
- Is your parameter file public, or would you be willing to share it
with a few developers?
- The first thing to do is probably to look at other, more fundamental
variables (e.g. metric components) in 3d and see where they begin to
differ. The hope is that they would begin to differ early during the
run. Do you have such 3d output at the same time from both
simulations? Or do you have 1d output e.g. along the x axis for some
variables?
