, , , , , , , , , , , we further illustrate the importance of the asymptotic viewpoint in table this table explores the maximum size allowed for an input instance that is processed by an algorithm in second minuteand hour it shows the importance of good algorithm designbecause an asymptotically slow algorithm is beaten in the long run by an asymptotically faster algorithmeven if the constant factor for the asymptotically faster algorithm is worse table maximum size of problem that can be solved in second minute,and hourfor various running times measured in microseconds
