It seems almost all of the time is spent in `LocalSearch._do_search()`. Do you have some tips on how to spend less time there?

Thanks! For the 30 second test run with an empty evaluation function this version still only tries 3 configurations, but I guess the hope is that SMAC balances its overhead...

The results are in. The time for running function evaluations remains roughly the same as before, but almost twice as many configurations are evaluated in the same time. So it...

Thanks for the hint! I'll try the development branch.

The `intensification_percentage` seems to work in the development branch. Now I can nicely control SMAC's overhead. Thanks for your help, guys!

I tried using pSMAC for the same optimization. However, even when using the recent revision d091bd35d8b971ee97039a07d3e4bd2f605a7015 from the development branch and explicitly setting `intensification_percentage` to 0.5, the time for function...

Could it be that the same fix for `intensification_percentage` that was made in the development branch has to be applied to pSMAC as well?

Thanks for the info!

I used the following workaround: ``` from smac.facade.smac_hpo_facade import SMAC4HPO from smac.initial_design.default_configuration_design import DefaultConfiguration smac = SMAC4HPO( initial_design=DefaultConfiguration, ... ) ```

Closing this since the newest version has a new preview mode that uses an external browser.
