# That is exponential...
It looks quadratic to me, or perhaps just a little worse than quadratic. If
it was exponential, you really would have problems.
(Quadratic goes 1,4,9,16,27,64,49,64,81,100. Exponential goes
2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512)
t=2+15*2^(r/32-5)
gives
3.875 5.750 9.5 17 32 62
against
2 5 10 17 30 62
that is about 5% deviation for values starting with 10 seconds,
It is exponential dependency.
