I don't see the benefit of annealing.  A big challenge (with any simulation) is 
sampling, and a single run of increasing temperature leaves you waiting for a 
long time (because you need sufficient time at each temperature) and you still 
only have one run.  If all one cares about is temperature dependence of 
dynamics, I'd just simulate N replicates at each temperature, independently, and 
acquire data in a much more efficient manner.
