I wonder which setting they are using?

Quality The algorithm allows the user to specify a desired quality. This simply determines the number of schedules that are generated and evaluated in the simulated annealing algorithm, as specified in the list below.

Fair: 100,000
Good: 750,000
Best: 5,000,000

If they are running only one perhaps they should choose "Best"
