EvolutionaryProcess vs. ThreadedEvolutionaryProcess

EvolutionaryProcess (EP) seems to be used, ThreadedEvolutionaryProcess (TEP) is not.  EP also seems to have threading.  What's the purpose of TEP?

TEP was an early version that allows optimization of a fixed function.  I
used it in the first testing to make sure that I got the algorithms right.

Not required for Mahout any more unless others need to optimize functions
in general.
