The UnitsOfExecution affects how many simulation can be run in parallel, but it will not affect the parallelization of an individual simulation.
How big is your E+ input file? File I/O has been optimized in GenOpt 3.0.2, and it should not take much time. You could verify whether it is an E+ or a GenOpt problem by adding your idf file into /example/quad/Parametric/optLinux.ini (or another operating system) under Simulation -> Files -> Template -> File2 and also Simulation -> Files -> Input -> File2 and measure whether it affects CPU time. GenOpt will then try to do a text replace in your idf file, which should have the same runtime impact as you would get with another simulation such as E+.
