I love this type of empirically sound SEO research by @giacomozecchini that yields actionable insights. It's a rare sight in a world often dominated by anecdotes with a good chunk of alchemy.
It's a good primer on how Google's crawling pipeline appears to work, and how one can optimize crawl speed beyond the traditional techniques. I keep saying "Have empathy with Googlebot" and this is exactly that. Understand what is expensive for it and try to avoid it having to do that work.
Also great to see that @nextjs is taking advantage of the recommended technique out of the box.

Session isolation may be a factor as well. JetOctopus stores more than one session in IndexedDB local storage.
