Hi,

Something you might consider is using the Map Equation software provided by
the developers. http://mapequation.org/code.html

I've found it is very very fast, allowing for multiple processors. You just
need the graph in question in pajek format, which igraph can export. After
this, you can bring the results back into R. It could be automated easily
with some shell scripting.

Cheers,

Peter
