Figure 5.

Time taken to run 1000 permutation scans on 32 cores on simulated data using scanonevar.perm, varying the number of individuals in the mapping population and the number of markers in the genome. For a given population size, there is a slightly supra-linear relationship between number of markers and time required. The average slope of the line indicates the average time required per locus and is dependent on the population size, ranging from $\approx$ 1.4 sec per locus with a population of size 100 to $\approx$ 3.3 sec per locus with a population of size 800.
