Actually the timestep seems to decrease - setting trstepgrow=1.5
(default "infinitive") helps quite a bit. Unfortunately setting
trstepgrow to 1.4 effectively hangs gnucap (the simulation goes down
to minimum step).

Still I have a feeling that playing with options is a hack. Why gnucap
does not recognize that the state of the circuit (bsim3 transistors)
changes and it should simulate the transition more precisely?
