  Hello,
   
  This is entirely wrong combination of 
  params. 
  MaxEval should be AT LEAST 2000. Runs should NEVER be set to 
  anything greater than 10, with 5 being resonable max.

question
    
    Hi - I am playing around with the CMAE opt 
    engine. MaxEval is set to 0 by me (instead of just accepting default). 
    For Runs, if I enter any number up to 31, it will warn me about taking lots 
    of time, and at 31 runs it says I have about 1.5B opt steps. If I enter 
    any any number > 31, it may or may not warn me, and when it doesn't warn 
    me, behavior of the progress box appears different. Am I overflowing the max 
    allowed opt steps? Is there some limit to this algorithm? Any other thoughts 
    why things are different sometimes? Thanks very much!
