Asynchronous systems, where processes operate at different speeds, have long been thought to be less efficient than synchronous systems. However, the author shows that in fact, the efficiency gap between these two approaches is largely dependent on restrictions placed on processor speeds. The author's research demonstrates that by introducing restrictions on relative processor speeds, the time required to solve a given problem in an asynchronous system can be significantly reduced. This finding has implications for the design of distributed systems, as it suggests that asynchronous systems may be more suitable for certain applications than previously thought. The book's insights contribute significantly to our understanding of the relationship between efficiency and complexity in distributed systems. By quantifying the impact of processor speed restrictions, the author provides a valuable framework for evaluating the performance of different system designs.
