Good: 750,000
Best: 5,000,000

If they are running only one perhaps they should choose best.
I'm reasonably certain they already run it on "best", having played around with the standalone program and been an official scorekeeper in the past. "Best" mode takes several minutes to run, while "Fair" only takes a few seconds. The schedule generation step in FMS also takes several minutes.
