Gurobi does not have `heuristics` for LP; but we do offer primal and dual simplex, and barrier, and extensive preprocessing (which in many cases simplify the input problem quite a bit)
It might be the case that after preprocessing (done by default) the problem could be solve by barrier much faster than by simplex, the only way to see it is trying it.
Also, gurobi will keep the previous basis (and other information) to re-optimize a problem after a change; this is also done by default for simplex.
In the end, the only way to see is trying it.
Out of curiosity, where does your problem comes from?
If you find any performance issue, could you share a couple of these (perturbed) instances? Maybe we can find some good parameters or use it to improve performance for the next release.
