Hi Szabolcs, Thank you for your reply. The lattice I am testing right now is quite small, with about 200 vertices, which already take several minutes. The real case I plan to run has about 10,000 vertices, so I guess it may not be reasonable to keep them in memory.

Is it reasonable to keep the complement graph in memory?
