The unfortunate problem with O(N) is that it says nothing about the
coefficient :-)

For many QM/MM applications, one has not yet reached the crossover
where O(N) < O(N^3).  In any case, I imagine it's hard to get the DFT
energy evaluation in any QM code to take less than 1 second, so an MM
evaluation should not be the bottleneck.
