Have you considered ImageMagik? I'm not well-qualified at either 
scripting Gimp nor anything but simplest tasks in ImageMagik (just lurk 
on the IM-list) but the tasks you describe *might* be possible in it and 
possibly somewhat quicker?

And in the end I get something that looks like Roger Alsings Mona Lisa. ( http://sanguis-lunae.de/Uni/ml5-10000.bmp is what I get after 10000 generations)

btw: the image link you gave and the upper level of your URL both fail 
to load. Are they working?
