Figure 6

Memory comparison analysis for dataset-2 . Twenty gene families were considered for this analysis, with gene family members ranging from 5,000 to 100,000. Results are similar to Figure 5. For large phylogenies, RapidNJ uses much more memory as compared to fastphylo (fastdist-fnj-pipe). However, we cannot explain the source of sudden jumps in memory utilization of fastphylo.
