There was an academic conference.
The proportion of presentation time was large (high?) in the conference.

In the above sentence, which of "large" or "high" is correct?

When the adjectives are at a distance from the noun, as in your sentence, 'high' sound better to me.

When they are together as in your title, there's not much difference. Click here.
