In this case we find that NCMC converges much more quickly than MD, specifically, for MD it takes approximately 12000 nanoseconds for the standard deviation in the slowest converging population to drop below 5%, indicating that typical simulations would have a population error of no more than 5%. In contrast, for NCMC the standard deviation drops below 5% for the slowest converging population by 60 nanoseconds, a factor of 200 reduction in total simulation time compared to MD.
