The overlap length of a three-dimensional Ising spin glass on a cubic lattice with Gaussian interactions has been estimated numerically by transfer matrix methods and within a Migdal-Kadanoff renormalization group scheme. We find that the overlap length is large, explaining why it has been difficult to observe spin glass chaos in numerical simulations and experiment.
