Word for time less - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

For ‘time-consuming’, I tried http://thesaurus.com/browse/time-consuming.

For ‘less time-consuming’, I tried researching synonyms for ‘productive’ (http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/productive).

But none of the above results pertain to time.

Example of ‘(less) time-consuming’ upon request:

As Googling each bus route (e.g. in Hong Kong, London) is too time-consuming, what are some less time-consuming methods to see all the bus routes on the same map?

More Time-Consuming

I can perhaps offer a few alternatives, in this order:

Protracted = drawn out considerably, particularly in time.
Exhaustive = comprehensive or thorough, but draining.
Laborious ~ (As above — @Preetie Sekhon)

Less Time-Consuming

Again, in this order:

Transient = brief, not lasting very long at all.
Ephemeral = lasting a very short time, very brief, transitory.
Brief = very fast, short-lived.

Caution

Be careful with ephemeral in particular, because almost no one typically knows what that means. It is a very uncommon word.

You could describe a time-consuming task as involved or potentially engrossing for something that might be involuntarily time-consuming.

For something less time-consuming, I would think easy, quick, or simple might work.

tedious (M-W):

boring and too slow or long

quick: this is obvious but here’s a definition for completeness sake (M-W):

Hi Wordsmyth.

Your speculations are rather out of touch—in my unbiased opinion. Essentially you say that Ann, in your example, with 36 apples, has

«3 times more than John: 9 + 3×9). »

36, you say, is 3 times more than 9.

This is a well debated topic on the ‘net, e.g.,

Times more / less than

and the ‘reasoning’ by ‘your’ side has always seemed a bit wacky to me. It reminds me of those who say, «I don’t know nothing» actually means, «I know something» because «two negatives make a positive.» But, to my mind, the realities of language use always trump such attempts at reason.

Your example is self made, and not surprisingly, self serving—contrived by you to corroborate this wacky ratiocination. {Not that you, my friend, as less than entirely sane, rational and empirical, here, but maybe you’ve been bitten by some strange internet bug! }

The problem is greater with «three times more», because it makes sense in the first place. If John has nine apples, then Ann has 36 apples (not 3 times John’s, which would be 27, but 3 times more than John: 9 + 3×9). Unfortunately, some people use it to mean that Ann has 27 (instead of saying, correctly, «Ann has 3 times as many apples as John»). So the sentence «Ann has 3 times more apples than John», whilst not senseless, is actually useless: if I heard it, I wouldn’t have the slightest idea whether the speaker meant 36 or 27.

=====

The best way to bring actual reason to the matter—and I say this dispassionately— is to start with the higher numbers, and take examples «from the wild» **. They are quite clear for the higher numbers, and very favorable (to my interpretation) for the lower. Two and three (times more) are debated, but my proposal is very simple «X times more than» something is means the same as «X times» [Corrected 4 pm EST, Feb 13](as many as that something or the measure of that something), assuming we’re talking of some things that are, respectively, countable or quantifiable) .

Here are some examples—I’ve chosen sources with numerical data so that matters are clear.

County sees two times more snow than normal for December

By: Sara Wilson

| Posted: Monday, Dec 30, 2013 11:43 am

If you were thinking there’s more snow this month as there was last year, you are right – two and a half times more.

According to Environment Canada from the beginning of November until Dec. 18 a total of 70 centimetres (cm) has accumulated in Airdrie and surrounding county communities.

That’s two-and-half times the normal accumulated amounts of 28 cm.

“There’s been lots of snow,” said Bill McMurty, meteorologist with Environment Canada.

Lyme Disease Ten Times More Prevalent Than Previously Thought

The CDC now estimates that 300,000 Americans are infected with Lyme — and other tick-borne illnesses are a growing threat as well.

By Jeff Wheelwright, Breanna Draxler

When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated last summer that the number of people diagnosed with Lyme disease each year was 300,000 — 10 times as high as the official counts — the agency must have expected headlines, and it got them. The alarmingly high figure justified assertions by patient advocacy groups that the 30,000 cases reported annually were just the tip of the iceberg.

Depression remains two times more likely in children with brain ..
.
www.news-medical.net/…/Depression-remains-two-times-more-likely-in-…‎

Oct 25, 2013 — Adults with head injuries are known to be at high risk for depression, and yet little research had been done on the topic related to children. […]

Using data from the 2007 National Survey of Children’s Health, researchers identified more than 2,000 children with brain injuries, reflecting the national child brain injury rate of 1.9 percent in 2007; and 3,112 children with diagnosed depression, mirroring the 3.7 percent national child depression rate that year. Compared to other children, 15 percent of those with brain injuries or concussions were diagnosed as depressed-a 4.9 fold increase in the odds of diagnosed depression.

This same approach may be applied to «X times less than» and there are lots of examples (re Swift, in my post #5) showing that in common usage, the expression means «1/X times» whatever measured entity—typically a rate— is being spoken of.

===
**ADDED: James, below makes a good point about the ‘wilds’ of the internet. I should have said to look for «actual usage»—not constructed—preferably from published sources, e.g., books from well-known publishers, scholarly journals, respected magazines and better newspapers.
