QoS better on 374.41

[chasethesun]

Hello,
I'm new, but I have been using merlin's asuswrt firmwares for a while. I have found through a lot of trial and error that 374.41 has probably the best performance with the QoS on for me. I have tried versions immediately above and below 374.41, but I am currently on 380.57 and I still believe that 374.41 has the best performance, QoS-wise.

I am not sure why 374.41 is so good, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this too. :]

My internet setup:
Comcast ~150MB down/~13MB up
Asus RT-N66U
Arris SB6141

What metric are you using to quantify "performance"? (Lowest delay, least bufferbloat, most accurate, highest throughput?)

374.41 handles all the traffic I throw at it with the least amount of overall slow downs. The reaction or respond time from click to beginning of page load(I guess lowest delay) is significantly faster on 374.41. Also video loads directly to HD as compared with other versions which buffers in low resolutions before going to HD.
