i would like to calculate the total energy for a few configurations .. is this a long calculation or relatively fast? compared to a transmission calc

Sure, it is, because the transmission calculation should be after the total energy calculation of whole system.

It depends on the number of energy points and k-points in your transmission spectrum, but using standard normal parameters the total energy is much faster.
