I just did a quick average of 10 on ctimer for breakdown solves. I wanted to see how it affected my LL times specifically. I was looking for some general tips on my step 2 and 3 (step 1 is cross/F2L). I have been saying a lot my LL times often are up to 9/10 seconds long. I honestly think sometimes hitting spacebar for the breakdown solve cost me about half a second and might have messed up my flow (because starting some algorithms would get awkward).

Code:
solve	step 1	step 2	step 3	total	
1	19.26	7.65	0.24	27.15	x
2	14.69	2.30	4.18	21.17	x
3	12.03	2.33	2.82	17.18	x
4	12.65	1.79	6.21	20.65	x
5	14.34	2.80	4.45	21.59	x
6	17.57	2.46	4.01	24.04	x
7	16.23	3.74	4.49	24.46	x
8	14.48	5.38	3.00	22.86	x
9	13.52	2.95	4.43	20.90	x
10	13.04	2.50	4.02	19.56	x

This wasn't my better set of an average as In only got two sub20's, I got a couple real close though. I've pretty much set my F2L goal at 12 seconds or so (step 1 / cross + F2L). I figure if I do this that my times should be sub20.

Most of my PLLs were easy ones, T, Ua/b, Rb, Ja/b. I don't know why some of those times were at 4+, unless it was from regrip due to hitting spacebar.

Any help would be appreciated, I'd like to get more consistent. I have about a month until DeVry happens and I really want all 5 solves to be sub20 (and I'd like something faster than my current 18.02 single :P). I know I need to make my F2L consistent. People say that PLL needs to be sub3 or sub2.5 but I didn't mess up on any of my PLLs except the one Ja that I got.

Whoops, yes. I edited what I wrote at first because the spacing of the breakdown was all screwed up, so I threw it in code tags. I lost internet connection in there somewhere so I'm guessing in the transition of editing (or copying and pasting) I cut out some of my OP. I edited it back though.

Yes, I'd like some tips / pointers :P
