Abstract: We consider spectral quantities in lattice QCD and determine the asymptotic behavior of their discretization errors. Wilson fermion with O(a)-improvement, (M"obius) Domain wall fermion (DWF), and overlap Dirac operators are considered in combination with the commonly used gauge actions. Wilson fermions and DWF with domain wall height M5=1+mO(g02) have the same, approximate, form of the asymptotic cutoff effects: . A domain wall height M5=1.8, as often used, introduces large mass-dependent effects. Massless twisted mass fermions have the same form as Wilson fermions when the Sheikholeslami-Wohlert term [1] is included. For their mass-dependent cutoff effects we have information on the exponents hatGammai of but not for the pre-factors. For staggered fermions there is only partial information on the exponents. We propose that tree-level mO(a2) improvement, which is easy to do [2], should be used in the future -- both for the fermion and the gauge action. It improves the asymptotic behavior in all cases.
