Note: Linear growth, in this case, iterates faster than exponential, but the growth factor is much higher for exponential. In short, it pans out to be almost the same, until exponential growth blows it completely out of the water.
The Linear growth iterates at 1 cycle every 1/500th of a second, growing at 1 unit (pixel) each time.
The Exponential growth iterates at 1 cycle a second, growing at N2 units (pixel) each time. The linear iteration step is 500x faster, but you can see how exponential growth still wins.
