+## How fast is _ccs_?
+### Latest version
+The latest _ccs_ v6 can process 200 GBases HiFi yield in 24 hours for a 25 KBases
+library on 2x64 cores at 2.4 GHz.
+To put this into perspective for actual sequencing collections:
+
+|  Sample  | Insert size | HiFi Yield  | Run Time |
+| :------: | :---------: | :---------: | :------: |
+|  HG002   |  15 KBases  | 41.1 GBases |  5h 52m  |

+| Readwood |  25 KBases  | 32.4 GBases |  3h 46m  |
+
+### Relative performance v3.0 to v6.0
+Current _ccs_ v6 achieves a >150x speed-up for 20 KBases inserts compared to
+v3.0 from SMRT Link 6.0 release in 2018.
+
+### Algorithmic complexity
+To understand how this performance gain was possible, an overview how we changed
+the algorithmic complexity and how _ccs_ scales with insert size and number of passes:
+
+| CCS version | O(insert size) |  O(#passes)   |
+| :---------: | :------------: | :-----------: |

+|   ≥4.0.0    |     linear     | **sublinear** |
+
+To visualize this table, we benchmarked runtime using 500 ZMWs per length bin with

-### How does that translate into time to result per SMRT Cell?
-We will measure time to result for Sequel System and Sequel System II CCS sequencing collections
-on a PacBio recommended HPC, according to the
-[Sequel II System Compute Requirements](https://www.pacb.com/wp-content/uploads/SMRT_Link_Installation_v701.pdf)
-with 192 physical or 384 hyper-threaded cores.
+After v4.0.0, the slope of the curve does not change, as the complexity class
+hasn't changed; only improvements independent of input type were made.
+
+### Performance comparisons
+Performance comparisons on different libraries; the `faster` column is with
+respect to the run time of the previous version. All runs were performed on the
+same hardware with 256 threads. A major part of the speed increase in v5.0 is
+due to toolchain improvements for generating a more optimized binary.

+Gain of information could also happen during PCR, when the polymerase gets stuck
