  1. The amount of time (minutes) to pull all the entries from a given database and the success percentage when pulling one entry at a time (with the—force-single-entry flag set) compared to pulling ten entries (maximum allowed by KEGG) per request. Each of these are compared to a lower sleep time vs. a higher sleep time. Results were collected on a 12 (hyperthreaded) core machine on 12 processes with all other options consistent
