Issue created Dec 01, 2016 by Aidan Chalk@d74ksyMaintainer

Timesteps sometimes take negative time.

When we were obtaining performance results with SWIFT here, we noticed on the Xeon processors certain timesteps were outputting negative time taken:

I was running the 3D sedov blast with 3 threads (for the above result) yml file below. Is this a known issue @pdraper @nnrw56 @matthieu ?
