Interesting.

What do you mean by quasi optimal?

Genetic algorithms product quasi optimal results but simulated annealing will not?

Quasi-optimal means you can't prove that the algorithm will always find the optimal solution, though for all practical purposes, the algorithm will find it for over 99% of the time.
