Hi dear all,

I have tested two community detection methods for some data sets. One
is community_multilevel() and

the other one is community_label_propagation(). The results surprised me
because the LPA is very slower

than the multilevel algorithm but theoretically the LPA is superior since
it is linear. I do not get it.

The following is my testing results:

data set:         Internet(nodes:22963,edges:48436)
collaboration(40421,175692)
Multilevel:       0.5454 seconds
 2.3077 seconds
LPA:               29.4948 seconds
 184.7579 seconds

BTW, all the data sets are gml file format and can be downloaded from Mark
Newman's homepage.

And the following is my testing platform:

Cpu: intel core2    1.7 GHz
Memory: 2GB
Hard drive: 320GB 5400rpm
OS: Linux Mint 14
Language: python 2.7
Library: igraph

Thanks!




Isaiah
