COMMENTS
Pálfy proved there are no primitive solvable permutation groups T with order greater than n^c_3 / 24^(1/3) but infinitely many for which equality is attained, where n is the degree of the group. Such groups necessarily have degree which is a power of 3, hence the subscript. He also gave tighter bounds for other prime powers.
EXAMPLE
E(9) : 2S_4 is a primitive solvable permutation group of degree 9 and order 432 = 9^(5/3 + log_9(32))/24^(1/3).
