Parallel initialisation

[elypma]

I am having a problem with an obj_fun that takes a long time to compute (varying from ~60 sec to ~700 sec). I try to do as much parallel as possible to speed things up using 8 islands in an archipelago.
What I found out is that the initialisation is not done in parallel but is only using a single cpu core (and thus takes a long time). After the initialisation all 8 cpu-cores are being used.

I am wondering whether I missed something or if I made a configuration error.

The population initialization is indeed made on one thread. Its not difficult to change it in the code, but we never did it (its a pending action on us :)

Thx for your answer.
Are there any plans to do this in the near future?
Anything I can do to help (but you should point me in the right direction).
