  1. Average wall-clock running time for the full-length datasets for which most methods could complete; this includes everything other than the RNASim datasets with 50,000 or more sequences. UPP is run in default mode. Results marked with an X indicate that the method failed to terminate within the time limit (24 hours on a 12-core machine). All methods but Muscle had parallel implementations and were able to take advantage of the 12 cores. Muscle failed to align two of the HomFam datasets; we report separate average results for the 17 HomFam datasets for all methods and the two HomFam datasets for all but Muscle.
