Scaling the review mountain part 4 - half done is well begun

I’ve felt like I’ve been in a slump lately, with Saturday morning going especially badly, so I decided to make graphs of the average review speed and accuracy over the last six months. Surprisingly, the review speed graph barely shows a downward trend:

The slump is much more pronounced in the accuracy graph. I think this is due to running out of easy items to review, since I’ve already burned so many of them, so now the review load is disproportionately leeches and thus accuracy is lower. But that’s just a guess.

It’s also interesting how spiky the accuracy graph is, even with heavy smoothing applied (kernel: [1, 12, 66, 220, 495, 792, 924, 792, 495, 220, 66, 12, 1]). I wonder why that is.
