      The authors show that quantifier elimination over the first-order theory of real-closed fields can require doubly-exponential space (and hence time) and show that this doubly-exponential behaviour is intrinsic to the problem. This result has already been proved by Weispfenning by a completely different method in 1985, but the method of the paper is of independent interest.
