    Tests have shown that PBiCGStab with the DILU preconditioner is more
    robust, reliable and shows faster convergence (~2x) than PBiCG with
    DILU, in particular in parallel where PBiCG occasionally diverges.
    
    This remarkable improvement over PBiCG prompted the update of all
    tutorial cases currently u...
