Hi, sorry for the late reply. This does look a bit odd, apparently the set-union propagator needs to do a lot of work at the root node. It’s a bit difficult to say what’s going on without looking at the code. One possible way to improve the performance is to check whether there is some simple preprocessing you could do, to make sure the domains of the set variables are small to begin with. But there might be something wrong with our set union propagator.
I would also be happy to have a look at your code directly, if it’s not too difficult to share (just send me an email). Or perhaps you can extract an example that shows the same behaviour (it looks like all we need are the set variables and constraints, your custom brancher isn’t part of the problem).
