Hi Eric,

I too tend to overlook the settings screen before I run a test and I have often left an optimization run overnight only to find it’s totally useless because I forgot to set the proper settings J because of this I now make it a point to copy paste the code below (and modify accordingly) for every system I use. It also helps when you are running different systems which require slightly different settings.
