USB Hub, found a good one

Directly connected to my PC my bot diags showed about 68% efficiency. I used an unpowered USB hub for several years that bumped it up to 73%. It died, I resorted to a USB hub shaped like the Tardis (because I had one on hand) and it to gave me about 73%. I didn't think anything of it but after the Tardis kept falling over I finally found a hub and ordered it.

I was expecting the same and ran the test... it came in at 85% !!!
Thinking that must be an error, I switched back to the Tardis, 73, 74, 72% was common with 1000 packets. With 5000 it returned a 68 or 69%

Back with the new hub, 85% with 1000 packets. With 5000 packets I still got 83%.

Here is what I bought:
Anker USB 3.0 4-Port Portable Aluminum Hub with 2-Foot USB 3.0 Cable

I was just wondering in looking at the USB hub I see it's a USB 3.0, are you plugged into a USB 3.0 port on your computer?

Yes, it is plugged into a USB 3.0 port on the PC.
