Dec 21, 2015 at 17:01 comment added Yiftach Barnea Derek, I don't know exactly what I am looking for that is why I have asked for reference. But your answer might be of interest.
Dec 21, 2015 at 16:27 comment added Derek Holt But then you should ask about the specific sequences of groups that you are interested in. As it stands, the question is too broad to allow a useful answer. As you can see from the second link above, this number has been determined for ${\rm PSL}(2,p)$ - it is $3$ or $4$.
Dec 21, 2015 at 16:18 comment added Yiftach Barnea Since people asked below let me say: I am interested in an absolute upper bound for $D(G)$ for particular sequences of groups. So I do not care about the exact value of $D(G)$. Also I understand the situation of nilpotent groups. Also notice that $D(G \times H) \geq D(G)+D(H)$ (possibly it is equal).
