+    Execution time and speed-up factor plots for gprMax (v3b21) and GprMax (v2).

+The results demonstrate that the new (v3) code written in Python and Cython is faster, in these two benchmarks, that the old (v2) code which was written in C. It also shows that the performance scaling with multiple OpenMP threads is better with the old (v2) code.
