Even more recent changes have made this better too. The research in the paper only goes up to Apr. 2017 or so. Since then, the "recent zone" has been a) reduced from 5 days to 3 days, and b) more recent zone mixins are included. We haven't quantified what improvement that makes, but it should help.
