    Hello,

    Due to not reading the API well enough, I modeled my Mixed Integer Programming problem using integer variables with lower bound 0 and upper bound 1.

    Would I see any performance increase in the branch and cut tree if I went through and converted them into the binary variable type provided in the API? I am running a large problem that takes about 2 hours to run.

    The binary variable type is a modeling convenience.  But once the algorithm starts, the 0-1 nature is treated the same whether you declare the variable as general integer (with the [0,1] bounds) or binary.
