A long generation time makes for a slow evolution rate, and a short generation time makes for a fast evolution rate.
Evolution doesn't have a constant rate because it depends on environmental factors and reproduction frequency.
Generally, a low rate of evolution.
The "rate" of evolution is most accurately gauged in terms of divergence between genetic sequences. Chromosomes are basically groupings of such sequences. It is certainly possible that the number and order of these groupings affect future developments (for instance: polyploidy and chromosomal fusions can affect speciation events), but they do little to affect the overall "rate" of divergence.
Gradualism
That it is quite variable across species and environments, but can be somewhat calculated within a rather wide margin of error. Your rate of evolution is many times slower than the bacterial rate for instance.
It's initial mass.

rate Evolution
Generally, a low rate of evolution.
Rapid evolution is where the subjective species in a population is considered to be evolving in an unusually high frequency and rate, thus 'rapid' evolution is occuring.
The "rate" of evolution is most accurately gauged in terms of divergence between genetic sequences. Chromosomes are basically groupings of such sequences. It is certainly possible that the number and order of these groupings affect future developments (for instance: polyploidy and chromosomal fusions can affect speciation events), but they do little to affect the overall "rate" of divergence.
Any change over time is called rate.
