Care to state the exact problem you were having?

My thought is scalability is to do entirely with speed availability

The problems with bolting together NN and GA are so numerous it is hard to know where to begin. For one thing, you cannot represent structured information with NNs unless you go to some trouble to add extra architecture. Most NNs can only cope with single concepts learned in isolation, so if you show a visual field containing 5,000 copies of the letter 'A', all that happens is that the 'A' neuron fires.

If you do find some way to get around this problem, your solution will end up being the tail that wags the dog: the NN itself will fade into relative insignificance compared to your solution.

Dont you see the way to go on Neural nets is hybrid with genetic algorithms in mass amounts?

I experimented with this combination in the early 1990s, and the
results were not very impressive.  Such systems still suffered from
extremely slow learning and poor scalability.
