Shoutout for these wonderful slides! Sincere thanks to the developers!

I do wonder why the "Standard Practices" slides do not recommend using GAMG as a preconditioner for solving the pressure field in the incompressible, single processor case (see below).

Establishing such a guideline would help in establishing a framework for best linear solver practices in OpenFoam.

Any ideas?
