We describe a procedure to implement two of these precongruences. Considering the extra information that is needed to be maintained while computing efficiency preorders, our procedure with a complexity $O(n^{3}m)$, compares favourably with that for deciding observational equivalence ($O(n^{\alpha }m)$. Further, the algorithm may be plugged in to existing model-checkers such as the Concurrency-Workbench of the New Century (CWB-NC) without any significant overheads of space or time. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01514657/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01514657/file/978-3-642-40213-5_6_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01514657 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01514657 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC2 %~ IFIP-WG2-2 %~ IFIP-FSEN %~ IFIP-LNCS-8161
