i've absolutely no idea, to be honest. however, if we take the pecentage
increase in latency for these first two:

15/65 * 100
23.07692307692307692300

50/184 * 100
27.17391304347826086900

we see that in both cases, we're getting an increase in latency of roughly 25%
i'm a hopeless mathematician, so i'm probably glossing over something here..
