The option '--nopresol' disables using the glpk lp presolver, which
is enabled by default. The lp presolver is a complex routine attempting
to simplify the original lp instance to make it easier for solving with
the simplex method (for example, it removes redundant constraints).
If using the lp presolver degrades the performance, just disable it.
