Nope, the much shorter time even with V32bis USRs is measurable.

It may well be that V34 is better enough that there isnt
as much for USR to improve on with V34 at both ends.

True, but its got to be tested in case there is some quirk.

Yeah, looks like it.

I think you should be ashamed of yourself.
