If I recall correctly, GAMG has a somewhat high setup cost and this is a solver I'll only be using for one single solve. It's not a physical field, it's just a marker; 1 inside, 0 outside a surface described by a CAD file. This marker is being propagated into the volume of an octree volumetric grid. I'm just taking advantage of the fact that the solution of the Laplace equation with constant BC's is the constant.
