How long a backfill takes

Forcing intervals to run in order turns a parallelizable backfill into a sequential one, and no amount of hardware shortens it.

Worked examples, recomputed

Every number the mechanisms quote for this relationship is recomputed from it, so none of them disagrees with it.

Where it appears

Each mechanism states it in its own names. The general symbol each name stands for is shown with it.
