Tests like these could identify the visit points where successive 40b networks overcome the 15b on 4x visits, measuring 40b progress and letting users choose the stronger size for their hardware and time/patience during reviews.
On weak hw this turning point may well remain too high even after substantial 40b training (network strength has less effect during the first bunch of visits, with shallow searches, so the turning point may not decrease too fast in this range), but on 1080ti it seems to be in reach already.

On my laptop (gpu : GTX965M), I've just run such a game with twogtp (#157 at 12801 visits v. #177 at 3201 visits)
Total time was 5702s. for 286 moves, around 20s. per move. I don't know why there's such a difference...

I wonder if it has to do with lizzie or the way something is set on my computer. I tried it again, setting an easy opening situation on lizzie with pondering off. Then turning pondering on for a minute. I ended with around 2.8 visits over the moves shown.
Earlier this afternoon, I wanted to try it on GRP to get an idea of how long it would take to review a game with lots of visits on a 40b while I'm at work. I used my last game, asked for 10k visits, and it went much faster than expected. I ended the review prematurely but I think it went through 70 moves in around a hour and a half, which is much faster than what I said about lizzie.
When I installed GRP on my laptop (with an old GPU), it changed something with openCL and things got faster on lizzie later. Is there something special I should install or set up?

I've tried with Lizzie V0.5 and network #177, on my GTX965M. It's indeed slow, with times from 35s. to 75s. to get 3200 visits.

Interesting, there seems quite a visit fluctuation between positions (even for the 1st move on empty board, and even outside tree reuse?). If low-visit move bottlenecks happen randomly throughout the game, that may have an impact on 40b's results.
Edit: Never mind, I figured it out.
Btw, what is the actual visit fluctuation, for example between early and late positions? Does it remain within these 25-30%?
