I'm not an incredible Roux solver, but I have a few thoughts. First, at the start, you say that you're rotating to your preferred orientation. It's best to make sure you're color neutral to some extent. I'm not sure about that S U S insertion, but it seemed pretty efficient. I think most people would say to solve your DR edge as the first thing. Finally, it's definitely faster to use only <MU> during 4c, with the exception of dots. On a side note, welcome to the forums!

Oh. I was going to try my other thing again, but this Roux solve was way efficient. 35 STM!
