it doesn't matter that *you* are not looking at a particular system. there
is no such system independent value. it *really* all depends on the size
and type of system and the property under investigation. for the same
system, in some cases, a few hundred picoseconds can be sufficient and in
other cases even milliseconds would not be enough. there is no
one-size-fits-all solution. sorry.
