Well, we never measured it again.  Because we didn't feel any slowdown

or feel any effect.  Otto did speed something up a few weeks ago, but

these are totally minor effects, honestly.
But since we didn't bother measuring it, we should probably all assume

a 10% slowdown.  That's easier.  It explains everything, including

spring coming earlier every year.
In the future, if you don't measure it yourself, please just withhold

comment.
