I tried it. If you had a super serious algorithm where you were will to spend any money to test it (a central security algorithm for example), it might be worth it.

The problem I had is that there were many many mutations which led to code which was functionally identical, just a bit slower, or took a different route. You have to manually verify every mutation to check if this.

For one mutation it took me 30 minutes to convince myself the algorithm was still doing the same thing, just in a different way.
