<div><br></div><div>Also, I thought we had added something like -pc_mg_smooth to set the number of smoothing steps when you are using the same smoother for the up and down smoother. I can not see a command for this. I did '-help | grep smooth', and I tried a few things. So to test this you need to manually fix the smoothing steps at about line 662 in gamg.c.</div>
