Hi - I have spent lots of time playing with the built-in intelligent 
optimizers, in my experience SPSO will return the same results every time if 
the settings are the same. Trib and CMAE will probably return different 
results each time. FWIW, I find CMAE to be the worst of the three and I 
don't use it anymore, it will find plateaus but nearly always misses the 
much more profitable but smaller plateaus. Using a quad-core I can run 4 
simultaneous instances and I find that by running 1 SPSO and 3 Trib's and 
then comparing the 4 results together, it will generally point me to some 
pretty good param values.  Good luck!

Steve
