Put another way 0.68 miles per hour.
I think to most archers the actual difference in arrow speed is not noticeable and particularly with recurve the loose has got to be very, very consistent to make any real difference.
IMHO choose the string you like most and put your efforts into consitency and bow tune for the biggest differences in performance.
