Gain/Loss in running time. Gain/Loss in running time of alignment by using our framework with respect to the base alignment method (x-axis) versus the ratio of the number of all possible subnetwork mappings in compressed domain to this number in the original domain. The blue vertical line shows when the two methods take exact same amount of time or when both methods take very short amount of time in the case of small query networks. Points on the right (left) handside of this line means gain (loss) in the running time. The dashed line is our decision criteria for predicting whether there will be gain or loss before doing the alignment.
