[GAP Forum] Reduction of elements of FpGroup

[Gaurav Dhingra]

Hi GAP forum members,

I am looking at the source code `FpElementNFFunction` (no documentation 
for it), in that there is a comment
```
# first try whether the group is ``small''
```

what does "small" means in GAP terms? Is this some standard jargon used 
in GAP source code? If so how is this used internally? It will be 
helpful if you could explain this used in a little deail.
I believe GAP uses somehow "small" group to refer to groups below 
certain "order", if this is the case. To what things it makes things useful?

Thank you
Gaurav
