This is a very good point, and is something that I'm working on now. I would like to be able to able to have multiple fitness rankings (ex. one that ranks specifically for throughput and one specifically for interactivity/latency). Then tune specific genes, that actually impact that specific fitness check.

I considered doing this in userland at first, but I went away from it for a couple reasons. I wanted users of the library to have a lot of flexibility. There was also a concern with the extra overhead going inbetween user/kernel space (important for users who's children have very short life-spans).
