I do not see a discussion in the paper regarding computational efficiency of RCN detection. The only hint about performance that I found is at the end of supplementary material where the authors state:

> Use of appearance during the forward pass: Surface appearance is now only used after the backward pass. This means that appearance information (including textures) is not being used during the forward pass to improve detection (whereas CNNs do). Propagating appearance bottom-up is a requisite for high performance on appearance-rich images.

I presume from this that in the current form RCN requires much more computations than CNN per detection, but I could be wrong.
