In a simulated annealing algorithm 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_annealing ) you can't 
lower the temperature too much quickly, otherwise you get a bad 
solution. To reach a stable solution you need to lower the 
temperature progressively and smartly, sometimes you even have to 
increase it a bit again, before letting the system cool down and 
reach the stability you look for.

Stochastic optimization strategies offer lot of useful metaphors 
to express ideas :-)
