Yeah I suck at maths, according to this comment https://lobste.rs/s/j4545s/dos_attack_against_c_compiler#c_nd8r4z https://lobste.rs/s/j4545s/dos_attack_against_c_compiler#c_n..., it's actually 'double exponential'

Yeah, I guess I actually meant to say 'it's very obvious that it's increasing quickly', but as you say, it doesn't read like that!!
- zokier 9y agoI suck at maths too (we should start a club!), but playing around with Calc the best fit I could get (for working set) was with quadratic exponential, i.e. in the form of e^(n^2+n). It would be interesting if someone who actually knows anything about this could chime in and say conclusively what the growth rate really is here.
