[Cbc] cbc.exe vs. Cbc API

[Michal Kaut]

Hello,

is there a (preferably easy) way to pass to a OsiCbcSolverInterface or 
CbcModel object the same set of options that the standalone solver 
(cbc.exe) is using?
I have a problem that cbc.exe solves in under a minute, but when I load 
the same MPS file to an OsiCbcSolverInterface object and use 
.branchAndBound(), it takes at least a day (I stopped after a day, so I 
do not know)...

And if not, would someone venture a guess about what options should I 
use, given the output?
cbc.exe:
