We study the possibility of designing $N^{o(1)}$-round protocols for problems of substantially super-linear polynomial-time complexity on the congested clique with about $N^{1/2}$ nodes, where $N$ is the input size. We show that the exponent of the polynomial (if any) bounding the average time complexity of local computations performed at a node in such protocols has to be larger than that of the polynomial bounding the time complexity of the given problem.
