Abstract: We study the dynamic critical behavior of a Swendsen-Wang-type algorithm for the Ashkin--Teller model. We find that the Li--Sokal bound on the autocorrelation time ($a{u}_{mint,calE}gemconstimes{C}_H$) holds along the self-dual curve of the symmetric Ashkin--Teller model, and is almost but not quite sharp. The ratio $a{u}_{mint,calE}/C_H$ appears to tend to infinity either as a logarithm or as a small power ($0.05leqpleq0.12$). In an appendix we discuss the problem of extracting estimates of the exponential autocorrelation time.
