Question #149904 on DOLFIN changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/dolfin/+question/149904

    Status: Open => Answered

Kent-Andre Mardal proposed the following answer:
You can play around with the numerical quadrature, eg: order can be set as
parameters ["form_compiler"]["quadrature_degree"] = "2"

There are other parameters as well. Look at parameters.keys() etc.

FFC takes an conservative approach which means that
the form is integrated exactly. This may not be what you want.
