FM matrices are slow and meant for debugging mostly (I thought,
although the docs just give this warning if coloring is not available).

I would check the timings from -log_view and verify that the time is spent
in MatFDColoringApply. Running with -info should print the number of colors
(C). The cost of an FD matrix is about C x cost of an exact Jacobian.
Roughly. You could check that.
