Average execution time for a relaxing monolayer initially consisting of 400 cells for a relative accuracy of ${ϵ}_{\text{rel}}={10}^{-3}$ for the different combinations of forces and numerical solvers. All cells divided at the beginning of the simulation. The monolayer then relaxed to mechanical equilibrium until time $t_{\text{final}}=4h$. EF—the forward Euler method, MD—the midpoint method, AB—the Adams–Bashforth method. One hundred simulations were run for each case and the error bars are one standard deviation around the mean value
