Using hybrid molecular dynamics/SWAP Monte Carlo (MD/SMC) simulations, we show that while the terminal relaxation times for FIRE energy minimization of soft-sphere glasses can decrease by orders of magnitude as sample equilibration proceeds and the jamming density increases, they always scale as , where and is the average coordination number of particles satisfying a minimal local mechanical stability criterion () at the top of the final potential-energy-landscape (PEL) sub-basin the system...
