Abstract. Following joint work with Itai Bar-Natan, Iva Halacheva, and Nancy Scherich, I will show that the Best Known Time (BKT) to compute a typical Finite Type Invariant (FTI) of type $d$ on a typical knot with $n$ crossings is roughly equal to $n^{d/2}$, which is roughly the square root of what I believe was the standard belief before, namely about $n^d$.
