 In our benchmark with `GTDB representive genomes`, it takes `15 minutes` using `16 threads, 50GB of MEM` on a system equipped with a `3.5GHz AMD EPYC 7763 64-Core Processor`. The processing time can be significant when executed on GTDB all genomes OR with limited resources. If only part of genomes are needed, one may use `sourmash sig` command to extract signatures of interests only.
