We compute, in the high-temperature limit, the determinant of small fluctuations around the sphaleron configuration of electroweak theory using the approximate method of Diakonov, Petrov, and Yung. For the ratio $\frac{\lambda }{g^2}$ of scalar four-point coupling $\lambda$ to gauge coupling $g^2$ near unity, we find that the determinant is of order 1 in agreement with previous computations. For $\frac{\lambda }{g^2}$ large corresponding to a strongly coupled Higgs phase, or for $\frac{\lambda }{g^2}$ very small tending to the Coleman-Weinberg limit, we find that the determinant strongly suppresses the rate of baryon-number-changing processes.
