For example, there's several plugin's with
whose title's suggest linear programming:

  GLPK Linear Program Solver interface
  LPSolve Linear Program Solver interface
  Linear and integer program expression format (MPS) module

Under Tools, there's:

  Solver...

and under that there's, under Model tab:

  Algorithm: GLPK or LPSolve

So, where does:

   Linear and integer program expression format (MPS) module

appear?  IOW, there needs to be some documentaion of
how to invoke these plugin's.

My help, also on ubuntu, is also *very* slow and the performance monitor
shows 100% on 1 of my cpu's and it showed yelp at 98%; so, I guess
there's some problem with yelp.

Agreed.
