A detailed analysis of the efficiency of a Monte‐Carlo (MC) method employing non‐local moves for simple lattice ring polymers is presented. While the introduction of kink‐translocation moves for linear chains results in the expected speedup by a factor of the order of the number of sites, this is significantly reduced for a melt of rings.
