Hi Laura,
There is no intended optimization for the computing time and the file sizes in the latest release. Although I'm not sure about the reasons for the computing time differences, you should certainly do something to check the file size difference. Please try to save results from both versions, and see whether the results are the same, and if not, whether the differences make sense to you.

These are just questions/observations and I am curious about your thoughts. No hurry and no worries if you don't have time to respond.
Independent Search File size question: Under the new RAnEn v.3.2.5, the general file size of the Independent Search file size is around 1.9MB for analogs generated for one day whereas under earlier versions it was around 4MB for analogs generated for one day. (The AnEn IS I am using for comparison was computed under the most current version on 20190129. I think pre 3.2.x but it may be 3.1.x. ). I have compared the files and both seem like they have reasonable analog results (nothing missing, etc). Beyond the "Changelog" page or the "Issues" page, can you let me know if you changed something so that the filesize is smaller? I am just curious.
Computing time: The IS took a little over an hour to generate 365 days using the IS search while it took about 14.75 hours to compute the SSE for 365 days. Does this seem appropriate to you? It seems like the code may be running faster now but I do not have numerical evidence. Just curious if you posted on this or had any thoughts to share.
Thanks!
Just in case you want to see the code used to configure/execute the AnEnIS and AnEnSSE.
