A break from BudgetBuddy for some evolutionary computation

http://practicalcryptography.com/cryptanalysis/stochastic-searching/cryptanalysis-simple-substitution-cipher/#python-code

I just found this bit of code to break a simple substitution cipher. Its an extremely simple hill climbing algorithm but I'm wondering if I couldn't improve on it by using different methods. I wonder how ALPS or another evolutionary tactic would fare against solving ciphers.
