<div><br></div><div>So I know it looks funny, but I don't have a similarly robust alternative. If we are living in a world where local work is cheap, we might as well do local SOR instead of pbjacobi. (Note that Cheby+pbjacobi is nearly as good as Cheby+SOR in some cases, but much worse in others.)</div>
