I reduced 3 minutes in the overall step, I think it is fine. I don't think we should go very low in this.

Notes

• The file static.dat is NOT solved, I think it does not make sense to solve, since we cannot check the solution is correct and we are testing reading the input.
• The nsol has been reduced by doing /EOF after the first solve.

[germa89]

Since we have shorten the solve outputs, we should see an improvement on the test mentioned in #1477.

LGTM.
