There is a linear correlation between c and the running time, that is, running with 2c takes twice as long as running with c.

You can shut it down gracefully pressing Ctrl-c (or sending the interrupt signal `SIGINT`), but only after an initial phase, the end of which is marked by the output `Starting to produce gf2n`. Note that the initial phase has been reported to take up to an hour. #### Benchmarking the MASCOT offline phase
