Thank you. (I don't think that anyone should use "exponentially" that way: it is an art term with a specific and particular meaning, so find another word if you mean something else! Like misusing specific legal or sporting terms...)

    Ah, thanks. I could only think of art as in literal, artistic art.

      If you have that tendency, you just need to think of TAOCP, this industry's best distillation of intellectual achievement, with the word "art" in its name.

Which term is appropriate here? What would you suggest? (honest question)

  "hugely" or "a lot" or "to O(XXX)" whatever the new XXX complexity is.

    "to O(xxx)" is a good idea, in terms of keeping it mathematical and accurate. I like that best. "hugely" makes me giggle, because I really hear "bigly" when I see/hear it.
