Nice :)

Ping times can vary widely and also depend on concurrent transmissions
made by other devices. But the trend looks good, and it is expected
that we're now causing less latency on the channel ourselves.

It should be faster in general, but we'll still flip RTS on if the
MiRA heuristic believes it makes sense and that can lead to periods of
time during which performance drops again. We might still need to tweak
this heuristic in the future. There are a lot of details the paper does
not explain. We'll have to figure out what works best in practice.

Thanks for testing! The diff has been committed earlier today.
