[Ipopt] Slow execution

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi Krish,

To follow up with Stefan's suggestion, if you use the option

mehrotra_algorithm yes

it chooses the adaptive barrier parameter option and a few other ones that 
might make things more efficient for LPs and convex QPs.

Also, in case you have relatively dense matrices, it might be worthwhile 
to try to use a good BLAS implementation (not netlib default code).

Regards,

Andreas

I find that the program executes rather slowly ( takes about 2 to three times longer) than a commercial solver.  Are there any tweaks that I can do to improve performance?  At present I am using the default settings for the optimizer and have not chosen to override any of the settings in my own calling program.
