Running times in seconds when computing score thresholds for all 11,411 PSSMs from the PRINTS database (Rel. 38), given different p-values. Running times given in this table are measurements performed with improved versions of the simple DP and LazyDistrib algorithms and thus are much lower than the times given in [25].
