I ran from the palm tree to the zoneline, then strafed back. I then strafed to the zone line, and ran back, each time using the same route
Results are 2:08 and 2:10 running, and 1:53 and 1:55 strafing.
This represent a rough 13% decrease in travel time. In theoretical terms a strafing JBooter is 148% run speed vs SoW runner at 155%.
In practical terms if you're making the popular Neriak - Guk run, you will save 1 minute by strafing, assuming no other speed enhancements.
