Well, all primal heuristic work in this way--usually it is reasonable to
spent some time to find a good initial solution rather than to spent a
lot of time to close a large integrality gap during the b&b search. The
only question is when to stop. May be to add a time limit like for PROXY
heuristic. On the other hand, if your instance is not hard, i.e. if the
b&b solver finds an initial solution quickly, using primal heuristic(s)
is not needed.
