It's no surprise, since the algorithm takes more steps in order to find an 
eigenvector.

No, the algorithm does that automatically (i.e., it splits communities further 
and further as long as it can increase the modularity). Just set the steps 
value to the number of vertices.

By the way, I think that other community detection methods (i.e. 
igraph_community_fastgreedy) are faster and yield similar results, so if the 
leading eigenvector method is too slow for you, try another one.
