Thanks for the update.

You wrote that the GA is too slow. If the problem is
that the GA _learns_ too slowly, you may want to check
out the Fletcher-Reeves non-linear optimization
(FRNLO) algorithm. I expect it would be considerably
faster. It tends to follow trends faster than GAs,
which take a while to weed out inferior solutions.

If you wanted to get really fancy, you could relegate
the GA to combining various rules and use FRNLO to
optimize the scores.

Thanks,
Kingsley
