MathOptimizer Professional (MOP) is a Mathematica interface to the LGO global optimization software developed by Janos Pinter 
http://www.pinterconsulting.com/
LGO uses compiled code for high speed optimization. Versions of MOP using the MingGW GCC compiler, the G95 compiler and Microsoft Visual Studio are available. There is also a free demo version using G95 that can handle up to 10 variables and constraints. Interested parties can contact me at frank@physicistatlarge.com . A Mathematica notebook describing the features of MOP and showing example problems is attached.
