I wonder if it's a DDoS attack on Bing.
In fact, I would run the same test repeatedly, keeping track of the k fastest times (k being ~3-7), and only stopping when the first and the kth fastest times are within a certain tolerance (as low as 1%). This ensures repeatability.
One sample of performance data for each test is not enough. This study provides no new insights.

Western Civilization is in the midst of Fascism (in the Mussolini sense of corporation and state), and yet most people are in a Mass Formation and welcome demonizing and killing their fellow man all because of minor disagreements, ideological or religious differences, or tribalism.
I don't know how much longer Western Civilization will survive without world war or collapse. The inmates are running the asylum.
It's a 50ft tower powered by PoE Ethernet.

It can background download either over cellular or WiFi. You can disable Cellular downloads if it's too slow or expensive, and override it per-show (such as if you're traveling and really need the show).
You can skip silent spots and speed up the playback, and there are equalizer effects.
You can rewind files as long as 2-3 hours (I've seen shows as long as 12 hours, although I've never played them from front to back). You can set the fast-forward and rewind durations per click on a per-show basis, and allow the first click duration to be larger than the later ones.
You can control whether the show gets deleted after it's played, such as never if you want to always keep it on device because it's too big to download.
You can set a timer if you want playback to end after a certain time. It will remember the position last played in a podcast.
You can arrange podcasts by your own defined categories.
There are default global settings, and per-podcast overrides.
You can search for podcasts by keyword, or enter RSS feed URL manually. They don't have to be iTunes podcasts.
You can export podcast episodes by email/text attachments, or send raw files to other apps.
It uses SQLite under the hood, and I've used it with thousands of subscribed podcasts.

I have cooked and eaten lamb, mutton and goat South Indian-style. They are all good.
I don't know why more Americans don't eat lamb, mutton and goat, but they are definitely tastier than beef.
With the greater MP camera, you'd expect a 1 TB storage option.
I use Direct Primary Care.
I do not use doctors who are beholden to corporate bosses, insurance companies or shareholders.
COVID-19 has accelerated the parallel economy of Direct Primary (and Specialist) Care. It was a fork in the road, a bifurcation point, and many have decided which way they are going.
There are people who value medical freedom and the doctor-patient relationship, and there are some who value collective concerns "for the greater good" at the expense of individual liberty.
