    Dear Shen,<br>
    <br>
    don't worry, nothing went wrong, this is similar to the behavior I
    observed.<br>
    <br>
    Note that the VRP example is just a very basic example for how a
    pricer can be implemented. It does not focus on providing good
    performance since this would complicate the code. If you want to
    implement a branch-and-price code, I would always recommend to look
    at the binpacking example or the coloring application. These two
    provide a better overview of what is normally needed for
    branch-and-price code, including problem data and a dedicated
    branching rule.<br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>
    Gerald<br>
