I notice that after applying the changes related to killing of BBs - there is a significant slow down in Sparse. Before the merge: real: 4.3 minutes user: 4.1 minutes After the merge: real: 18.9 minutes user: 18.7 minutes I just noticed this and these are my initial tests. But I thought it worth letting you know. BTW in my tests I do not see any change in the results after the changes - i.e. the previous failures due to simplification are still present. But there is now a degradation in performance - so my question is - are these changes worthwhile?
