Then again, maybe it doesn't really matter.
Suppose you had a commute that takes you exactly 30 minutes with whatever you're using as a base line drive train. A drive line that's 4% less efficient would take you 31 minutes and 12 seconds. Would that bother you? I rather suspect that would drop out into the background noise of weather and traffic conditions. In other words, the normal day-to-day variation in commuting times would exceed any difference that could be attributed to the hub.
