Comparison of complexity between the two schemata. Query length as a function of the number of colours taken into account for retrieval. For a given number of colours (k), we enquire the measured values of all events (cells) for k variables. Indicative values (conventional, proposed): (11.2 Mb, 528 b) for k = 16, (158 Mb, 960 b) for k = 32, (2.33 Gb, 1.8 Kb) for k = 64. The value k = 0 corresponds to retrieval of forward scatter (FS) and side scatter (SS) values only.
