Because speed run times are already variable depending on connection speed, which browser they are using, thread count, and lag. I don’t see what the benefit of this is since it will just keep the status quo.

If enough people that consistently run the forums at the fastest times all of a sudden can shave 3-5 seconds off their times every time, the speedrun times would drop.
