Wikipedia is quite clear.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

A sentence can be used in different contexts.

Which means that "an order of magnitude" can be slower. For instance, let us set a calculation that my Prime performs in 0,432 secs. Then my "other" calc does the same in "an order of 10 times the magnitude". So, in 0,432 secs it has performed 0,000226379693794 of the work that my Prime has done.. Wink (0,432^10=~2,26*10^-4)
