For a long time computer scientists have distinguished between fast and slow algorithms.
Fast (or good) algorithms are the algorithms that run in polynomial time,
which means that the number of steps required for the algorithm to solve a problem
is bounded by some polynomial in the length of the input. All other algorithms are
slow...
