48. The number of vibrational sublevels scales exponentially with the number of vibrational degrees of freedom 2n. Factorization of vibrational overlap allows treatment of the accepting sublevels by an algorithm, which is linear in 2n; accounting for the thermal population of initial states requires their explicit enumeration.
