Bottleneck

The shortage of engineers is the greatest bottleneck to the development of our company.

Ashkenazi Jews experienced a population bottleneck around 700 years ago.

“The real bottleneck is to find out the technique to make large area graphene layers and that’s not yet possible, I don’t think, but there is a lot of research going on,” he said.

"In the future, if advanced AIs would preserve humanity or transhumanity, AIs would be able to fix our language problems. Perhaps, they would create new languages for our descendants to learn and make obsolescent of archaic speech and writing." "That's a fascinating thought. If advanced AIs in the future were tasked with preserving humanity—or what humanity evolves into as transhumanity—they would almost certainly turn to language as one of the first and most crucial domains to 'fix.' After all, language is both the bridge and the bottleneck of human understanding."

"Permissive" working allows more than one train to be in a block section at one time but trains must be run at low speed in order to stop on sight behind the train in front. Such working is often authorised to allow freight trains to "bunch" together to await a path through a bottleneck instead of being strung out over several block sections, as would be necessary if absolute working were in force.

At one time, Reading was regarded as a notorious bottleneck in the rail network, almost incapable of managing the number of services that needed to pass through the station each day. [...] A road widening scheme at Cow Lane has also allowed two-way traffic to run beneath the railway for the first time, helping to remove a notorious road traffic bottleneck in the town.

It is easy to create entries; processing the paperwork is the bottleneck.

The bottleneck in this computer program is the inefficient sorting process; we should replace it with a faster one.

The merge bottlenecked the traffic every morning.
