In iterative optimisation a classical belief is that for efficiency a fine balance between local intensive exploitation and global exploration should be achieved. However to date (November 2018), there is no rigorous approaches (theoretical or experimental) that support it. We present here how exploitation and exploration can be measured in order to really monitor the progress of their ratio. Preliminary results show that it may be far from what one would expect.
