    I see this term used quite a bit, what makes one market less efficient than another and how does one recognize this property?

    occam got it right, its academics. the efficient market hypothesis claims markets have some level of efficiency to it: weak, semi-strong, and strong. this refers to the transparency of information and how quickly the market reflects new information. efficient market means new information is taken in quick (think gap movements); inefficient means slow.
