Hi Ambros,

Thank you for the insight! The statistics reported with the `-q` are perfect for my use case, so I will be using it.

If I compare the results I get with the ones in https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1007%2Fs10107-019-01444-6/MediaObjects/10107_2019_1444_MOESM1_ESM.pdf, I can still see some mismatches (e.g.,  app1-2 or atlanta-ip), but I assume it is due to the parameters I'm using and the fact that Soplex's version has changed.  The vast majority are the same.
Also, it may be worth checking the method `numRefinements`: unless I'm misusing it (which is likely), I think the number reported is incorrect (it seems to always be 0).

Cheers,
Ernesto Casablanca

Hi Ernesto,

have you tried the -q option on the command line?  Are the statistics in
in this table sufficient?

Best,
Ambros
