Hi

>From a quick look I've seen your algorithm tends to converge to a global
optimum, but also as William Lee Irwin III has commentend on irc, it
might miss "special points" since there's no warranty of the function to
minize to be continuous.

I think it's a good idea to introduce this techniques to tune the
kernel, but perhaps userland would be the right place for them, to be
able to switch them off when in need or have more controll over them.
But it's a nice initiative in my opinion.

Regards.
