    409409In general, \ref NetworkSimplex and \ref CostScaling are the most efficient
    410 implementations, but the other two algorithms could be faster in special cases.
     410implementations.
     411\ref NetworkSimplex is usually the fastest on relatively small graphs (up to
     412several thousands of nodes) and on dense graphs, while \ref CostScaling is
     413typically more efficient on large graphs (e.g. hundreds of thousands of
     414nodes or above), especially if they are sparse.
     415However, other algorithms could be faster in special cases.
    411416For example, if the total supply and/or capacities are rather small,
    412417\ref CapacityScaling is usually the fastest algorithm (without effective scaling).
     418
     419These classes are intended to be used with integer-valued input data
     420(capacities, supply values, and costs), except for \ref CapacityScaling,
     421which is capable of handling real-valued arc costs (other numerical
     422data are required to be integer).
