Most investigations devoted to the conditions for adiabatic quantum computing are based on the first-order correction ${\bra{\Psi_{\rm ground}(t)}\dot H(t)\ket{\Psi_{\rm excited}(t)} /\Delta E^2(t)\ll1}$. However, it is demonstrated that this first-order correction does not yield a good estimate for the computational error. Therefore, a more general criterion is proposed, which includes higher-order corrections as well and shows that the computational error can be made exponentially small -- which facilitates significantly shorter evolution times than the above first-order estimate in certain situations. Based on this criterion and rather general arguments and assumptions, it can be demonstrated that a run-time $T$ of order of the inverse minimum energy gap $\Delta E_{\rm min}$ is sufficient and necessary, i.e., $T=\ord(\Delta E_{\rm min}^{-1})$. For some examples, these analytical investigations are confirmed by numerical simulations. PACS: 03.67.Lx, 03.67.-a.
