Based on more extensive tests that also involved a broad range of smearings, a new set of protocols were devised:

Name Smearing (Ry) k-points distance (1/A)
Precision 0.0125 0.10
Efficiency 0.0200 0.15
Fast 0.0275 0.30

Here we already update the values in the PwBaseWorkChain protocol file. In a future PR it would be nice to set up a system for protocol aliasing, so we can also change the names without breaking protocol methods downstream.
