With less precise wiggle enabled, the result is as follows:
CPU time first loop: 10.6 sec against 13.2sec with default Wiggle (see above)
Result report: 15141.234 against 15125.471 pts
Total gain: 31.557 against 15.794 (more loops in same time 10' gains more per unit of time)
68 loops instead of 49 loops

Computer:

Constructor: ICT Service desk
Processor: Intel Core i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30 GHz 2.30 GHz
RAM: 4.00 Go
System: 64 bits
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise, Service Pack 1

Conclusion:: Less Precise Wiggle is about 30% faster and more rentable per unit of time on big proteins

Could this recipe work with other proteins?

[TESTIFICAT]

1st loop 18 seconds.
Result 15121.298
11.621 total gain
38 loops.

10.87 seconds first loop
15125.735
16.058 total gain
54 loops.

The previous one was while working on the internet.

For any own tests. (or you can create another contest - but 10 minutes might be to little for small puzzle and a powerfull computer - just edit the recipe then).

START SCORE IS LOWER With NC=> just compare loops and gain

Intel Core Duo T2300 1.66GHz
CPU time first loop: 26.8 sec
Result report: 11318.390 pts
Total gain: 5.062
25 loops

Intel Core Duo T2300 1.66GHz -NewChapter HIGH (Disable cut bands)

START SCORE IS LOWER With NC=> just compare loops and gain

Intel Core Duo T2300 1.66GHz
CPU time first loop: 271 sec. (oops, correction above: was 28, 34, 32 resp. for former tests above)
Result report: 11314.640
Total gain: 0.235 much less than Low and even Medium
16 loops slower than Low and Medium

Conclusion: Yield is higher with Lower & no cut bands
Preference is:
Cut bands unchecked > Enable cut bands
Low > Medium » High
