I've thought about your comment for a while. If you want to test for potentially interesting search space, you should do so systematically, not randomly. A random scattering could leave vast areas unsearched, and you might not even know. (I think you'd have to look at a visualization that happened to make it clear, or do some other analysis.) Covering the entire search space evenly is a better approach to start with. Increasing the frequency around high scoring points would automatically dig down into interesting regions.
