I don't understand you question. If you can use GPUs for LB, do it. If you 
can't, you can use the parallel CPU LB. Parallelism is switched on by using 
mpirun …
Why don't you just try. You can use this code snippet to time your integration. 
It integrates $steps per block and outputs the necessary time in ms.

proc itausend {} {
  global steps_per_block 
  integrate $steps_per_block
}

proc intblock {} {
  global steps_per_block
  set t [ time  {itausend} 1 ]
  puts "ms per MD step: [ expr ( [ lindex $t 0 ] )/1000./$steps_per_block]"
}

Cheers
Stefan
