Hi, Xavier Part of this I can speak about...when I put in an algorithm for column rebalancing (the "equilibration" you refer to, on other words) it was very crude, really nothing more than a placeholder. I meant to go back to it but never did, and as far as I know no one else has ever put in a better one.
Your blocks have very little content, so it may not look like they break across columns. But that they already do. It's just that the break is not quite in the right place. I'll take a quick look and see if we can't do somewhat better than what we have at the moment.
