When running an Event Based Hazard calculation for a realistic national scale calculation, the computation time associated to the 'execution' phase took ~ 1 hour, while the post-processing phase did not finish after ~ 9 hours. I killed the job because it was taking too much time. I report the log here. Attached you can find the input files to reproduce the job. The job was run on the ETH cluster.
