Re: [eclipse-users] Speed Up Constraint Imposing Time in ECLiPSe

On comp.constraints you wrote that you have about 50000 constraints. I don't
think that "imposing" them will be performance bottleneck - rather SOLVING
them will be.

A.L.

P.S. Could you synchronize this what you write here and on
comp.constraints?...
