Does this mean that you only solve the correct bottom layer color now instead of being 'neutral' or that you stopped swapping the center caps of the sq1?
The first part. I use black on top, yellow on bottom, so during solves, I would put yellow on top and at the very end, swap them.

I tried getting used to putting black on top, which made me really slow. So to make my life easier, I just swapped the center caps so now yellow is on top and I don't have to swap the layers. Win/win.

Overall, still slower, but I'm liking the faster singles.

9.24 (0, 5)/(4, -5)/(3, 0)/(2, -4)/(-2, -5)/(-1, 0)/(-3, -3)/(0, -5)/(-4, 0)/(-2, 0)/(-4, -2)/(6, -2)

EDIT:

Purple Squan is where it's at

8.72 (0, 5)/(6, 3)/(4, -5)/(3, -3)/(-3, 0)/(3, 0)/(-1, 0)/(-3, 0)/(0, -3)/(-4, -3)/(4, 0)/(2, 0)/

First sub-1 average of 5, avoiding OLL parity:

1. 57.93 L' U2 B' L2 u' D' R r2 F u R f2 U2 r D' L' R B U2 D2 B u F2 L2 D u r2 R2 U' R U F L' f' r' R' u' D' L' B'

I'm thinking about predicting PLL parity now, rather than avoiding it.
