[CIG-SHORT] Pylith time stepping viscoelastic

[Francisco Delgado]

Dear Pylith developers

I'm running a viscoelastic simulation of a pressurised magma chamber
surrounded by a viscoelastic shell with a viscosity of 2*1e16 Pa s, a shear
modulus of 30 GPa. The latter figures imply a stable time step of 0.0042
years which will produce a very slow simulation over a period of 4 years in
terms of computing time. Hence I wonder if there a way to increase the
simulation speed.

Thanks
