Performance improvements for nuclear reaction network integration

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Aims. The aim of this work is to compare the performance of three reaction network integration methods used in stellar nucleosynthesis calculations. These are the Gear’s backward differentiation method, Wagoner’s method (a 2nd-order Runge-Kutta method), and the Bader-Deuflehard semi-implicit multi-step method.
