Abstract: Let S be a surface of genus g with p punctures with negative Euler characteristic. We study the diameter of the $epsilon$-thick part of moduli space of S equipped with the Teichm"uller or Thurston's Lipschitz metric. We show that the asymptotic behaviors in both metrics are of order $logfracg+pepsilon$. The same result also holds for the $epsilon$-thick part of the moduli space of metric graphs of rank n equipped with the Lipschitz metric. The proof involves a sorting algorithm that sorts an arbitrary labeled tree with n labels with simultaneous Whitehead moves, where the number of steps is of order log(n).
