+BiGpairSEQ creates a [weightd bipartite graph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartite_graph) representing the sample plate.
 The distinct TCRA and TCRB sequences form the two sets of vertices. Every TCRA/TCRB pair that share a well
 are connected by an edge, with the edge weight set to the number of wells in which both sequences appear.
 (Sequences present in *all* wells are filtered out prior to creating the graph, as there is no signal in their occupancy pattern.)

 To run the simulation, the program reads and writes 4 kinds of files:
 * Cell Sample files in CSV format
 * Sample Plate files in CSV format
-* Graph and Data files in binary object serialization format
+* Graph/Data files in binary object serialization format
 * Matching Results files in CSV format
 
+These files are often generated in sequence. To save file I/O time, the most recent instance of each of these four
+files either generated or read from disk is cached in program memory. This is especially important for Graph/Data files,
+which can be several gigabytes in size. Since some simulations may require running multiple, 
+differntly-configured BiGpairSEQ matchings on the same graph, keeping the most recent graph cached drastically reduces 
+execution time. 
+
+Subsequent uses of the same data file won't need to be read in again until another file of that type is used or generated.
+The program checks whether it needs to update its cached data by comparing filenames as entered by the user. On 
+encountering a new filename, the program flushes its cache and reads in the new file.
+
 When entering filenames, it is not necessary to include the file extension (.csv or .ser). When reading or
-writing files, the program will automatically add the correct extension to any filename without one.
