[molpro-user] Both of RS2 and DF-RS2 are very slow

Dear Molpro Experts,
I tried to calculate RS2 (CASPT2) gradient using a converged CAS(10,10) wavefunction for a molecule in Ci symmetry. The basis sets used were def2-TZVP (and def2-TZVP/JKFIT for density fitting). The CASSCF part converged nicely, however, the calculation stuck at RS2 part for a long time without any further output. I issued 24GB of memory and 16 cpu OpenMP parallel on a dual E5-2680 computer so this should not be a resource problem. Also another NEVPT2 calculation based on the same CASSCF wavefunction without density fitting was able to finish normally without any error, while non-DF RS2 based on the same CASSCF calculation also stuck. 
The input file is:***,MOLPRO CASPT2 Jobmemory,3000,mstart;symmetry,autobohrgeomtyp=xyzgeometry={14MOLPRO Job DF-RS2............ molecular specifications in XYZ.......}

However, the DF-RS2 part that followed stuck at the status shown below without any further outputs for more than 20 hours, not to mention the next calculation of its analytic gradients.

Switching back to non-DF calculations did not solve the problem. The CASSCF and NEVPT2 single point calculations could finish normally and quickly, while the non-DF RS2 still stuck at the same place.
