Let G be a finite group with d(G) = α, d(G/G′) = β≥1. If G has non-abelian simple images, let s denote the order of a smallest such image. Then d(Gn) = βn provided that βn≥α + 1 + log8n. If all simple images of G are abelian, then d(Gn) = βn provided that βn≥α. If G is non-trivial and perfect, with s again denoting the order of a smallest non-abelian simple image, then d(Gsn)≼d(G) + n for all n≥0. These results improve on results in previous papers with similar titles.
