So often it seems like you just a few more iterations make the difference. Plus tuning the annealing parameters sometimes feels like you need another optimisation algorithm just for that!

The routes I'm optimizing are of length 60 on average, but the length distribution is quite linear ranging from 5 'places' up to 180 'places'. That's a good question you asked ... I'm still struggling to know when we could decide to stop the search for better solutions; maybe the length could be taken into account for that purpose...

So how big are the routes you're optimising? Hey, glad to hear you’ve found a use for my simulated annealing code.
