A comparison of the integrated SFE and the smoothed SFR as functions of time for the three runs with a medium initial cloud mass, as described in Section 4. The run without jets (M-nojet) is shown in black while the two runs with different jet parameters are shown in lines of various colors. The lower panel shows the SFR smoothed with a Gaussian filter with a standard deviation of three data points, which corresponds to approximately 30 kyr. Although the three runs are similar at early times, the runs with protostellar jets form stars more slowly than the run without jets at later times.
