They were just typos in my writeup.

Absolutely. But, have we moved to the point where size doesn't matter?
Are you willing to have a 2X executable for a 1.3X speedup?

Yes. I need to improve the output. I'd also like to set things up so
that I can save complete chromosome information and read it back in to
resume an interrupted evolution.
