Adding randomness can improve performance
When you're climbing up the side of the mountain looking for the top, you'd like to go right up the side. You want to go up a ridge, and not get distracted by each little ripple that's a bit higher on the way up. Some randomness can help with that, preventing you from getting overcommitted to a particular route that looks good at the moment, but may be just a comparatively poor local optimum.
SynthEyes injects some randomness for that reason. It substantially reduces the time to get to the top of the mountain. The Advanced Solver Settings give you control over that (the fuzz settings), as well as allowing you to limit the number of trackers or frames that are added to the growing solution at any time. Limiting the number of new frames or trackers prevents the solver from overcommitting to a potentially bad solution when the tracking data isn't very self-consistent (for example due to rolling shutter or lens distortion).
