a Wall clock running time in hours, b CPU time in hours, and c peak memory usage in gigabytes of the tested methods on three real datasets of various sizes: the Peabody mock community (0.1 GB) and two samples from the Tara Oceans project (11 GB and 98 GB). All methods were run with 4 threads. In order to generate comparable files, the Peabody data was converted to FASTQ format and the separate paired-end and gzipped Tara Oceans files were decompressed and interleaved. MEGAN+DIAMOND did not finish running after 168 wall clock hours (1 week) on the 98-GB file
