Following a discussion during yesterday's team call, I emailed the
developers to see if anybody could shed any light on the relative merits
of the two solvers provided in Calc 6.2.
For information, I am forwarding the response from Kohei Yoshida which
contains a useful link to a paper comparing various open source linear
program solvers (including the two that we provide, lp_solve and
CoinMP).

Steve Fanning

Is it possible for a developer with appropriate knowledge to provide me with
some indication of why a user might want to use one engine in preference to the
other? Are there circumstances in which one is likely to perform better than
the other?
I for one did not do any sort of fair comparisons, but I found the following
paper which may help:

You can skip to the conclusions on page 33 to get the summary of their
comparisons. CLP == CoinMP as far as I can tell.
