glp_read_lp can be one of the causes:
The order of the variables can affect the number of simplex iterations -
the index of the variable can be used to break ties in selecting the next
variable to enter the base.

But it appears that this is a more complex issue: the processing time
increased more than one time (a lot) as new GLPK versions appeared...
