In general (but speaking mostly to the "Blowing up the network" tests)
I'd be wary of drawing strong conclusions about the relative behaviour
of the various algorithms from the performed tests. WiFi has notoriously
high variance in behaviour between test runs, so a lot more tests are
needed to draw strong conclusions. Instead, look at the results as an
indication of things to look at more closely :)

I've sent a pull request for the "Blowing up the network" page which
includes this point, as well as a refresh of the graphs and some other
text.
