These are really interesting, thanks.

| d i   min /  avg / max
| 0 0  35.20/ 55.33/144.30   <===
| 0 1  37.39/ 77.76/315.76

| 3 0  36.07/ 42.07/ 47.82   <===
| 3 1  97.46/173.09/359.69

These relative numbers are a bit counterintuitive... it might be worth
trying it again from a "very cold boot" but with the script

for DRIVESTRENGTH in 3 2 1 0

and seeing if the bias to a worse max moves accordingly.
