No, difficult to find any exact figures, but I am sure there are people smarter than me that made the calculations and that there is substance behind our recommended procedures asking for delayed flap selections "when possible", flap 3 landings etc etc.

It sometimes surprises me though when I hear from people that you cannot/are prohibited from flying below these speeds with current configuration. That to me shows that perhaps people are not always aware of what these speeds mean and how flying above or below them effects your aircraft and the protections.

But like I said earlier, its not a competition so fly in a way that is comfortable to you and the guy next to you.
