1) Optimizing your code is probably the most effective.
2) Reduce the opt ranges by running two at a time and reducing them to a
narrower range around their optimum values is another way. If later some of
your optimizations return limit values you can shift the ranges to ensure
proper margins.
By halving the number of tests you cut your time in half, so range
reduction is the best way - and it doesn't cost anything :-)
Good luck,
Herman.
