Effiecient market, as I understand it, means that the market would make the best possible desicions given the information it has available. Working with this definition, the market would need to solve NP-complete problems quickly. As I think is obvious, the market cannot (heck, at the speeds the market runs, I doubt it can even solve most P problems in time).
It seems like the definition of effiecent market you are using would mean the market makes the best decisions given the information and computational resources it has.
I would make an even weaker claim, saying the market makes the best possible decision, given the information, computational resources, and known algorithms to utilize the information and computational resources, and given players whose goal is not achieving an optimal outcome from the market.
