Various algorithms in EMAN2 will depend non-linearly on the box size of the particle. Sometimes (such as the case with FFTs), this behavior will appear bizzare. For example refinements with a box size of 45 pixels will run roughly twice as fast as those with a box size of 47, and 44 is about 20% faster than 45.

Particle Box Size and Speed

Various algorithms in EMAN2 will depend non-linearly on the box size of the particle. Sometimes (such as the case with FFTs), this behavior will appear bizzare. For example refinements with a box size of 45 pixels will run roughly twice as fast as those with a box size of 47, and 44 is about 20% faster than 45.
