Note that there are plenty of issues to be aware of when trying to do this.

- Solvers might not respect time limits the same way.
- Insights are problem dependent.
- Solving the same model with the same solver and a longer time limit is not guaranteed to get a better answer.

See this slide deck for some of the pitfalls: [https://school.a4cp.org/summer2017/slidedecks/Consistency-in-Solvers.pdf](https://school.a4cp.org/summer2017/slidedecks/Consistency-in-Solvers.pdf)
