Had many memory issues trying to to do a grid search.  The best score that I was able to get was 0.2002 with 240 gaussian units.  I was not able to beat SGD with simple transfer functions before running out of memory.  The benchmark runs out of memory if I try to use the 240 unit classifier with all of the other ones.

The results with 230 units (the most I could use with every other classifier) are:
