  1. I think it's best to hold the first center on the bottom while you're solving it so you have fewer blind spots, and it felt like your first and 2nd centers were about the same speed - if you're using inspection time efficiently, the 1st center should definitely be faster
  2. there was one specific instance during l4c where you solved the last bar for a center with Rw U2 Rw' 4Rw U Rw U2 Rw' when you could've saved a move by doing U2 4Rw Rw' U Rw2 U2 Rw', but there wasn't anything that jumped out to me as super inefficient
  3. look ahead during f3e and l9e could use some improvement, usually I look for 2 edge pieces that go together while finishing the previous edge, and while I insert/pair those 2 pieces, I look for the 3rd one, and so on (this may not work for everyone but I find that it works well)

sorry I probably could've paraphrased that to be a lot shorter
