A location is highlighted only when it leads the next best by 5 percent or more. Smaller gaps are normal run-to-run variance.

Network results are not compared here. iperf3 targets are third-party servers, so distance to each target dominates the number.

We have not benchmarked this plan yet. It shows up here after its first scheduled run.
