I had added the option to re-scale parts of the saddle point system to minimize loss of floating point precision for cases where there are varying orders of magnitude in the system/unknowns.

Is there any way to show that the re-scaling is improving the solver convergence (i.e. showing that it ensures that the true and relative residual are close to each other)?
