Would minimising the number of CPU cycles work as a lazy incentive.
This assumes that lesser CPU cycles will produce an outcome that is satisified rather than optimised, though in our current state of understanding any optimisation routines take a lot more computing effort than 'rough enough' solutions.
Perhaps getting the AGI's to go Green will kill two birds with one stone.
This has problems with the creation of subagents: http://lesswrong.com/lw/lur/detecting_agents_and_subagents/
You can use a few CPU cycles to create subagents without that restriction.
It can be difficult to impossible to know how many CPU cycles a problem will take to solve before you solve it.
