May Hill / Cruickshanks / Whitegates is like a snooker table compared to how it was not so long ago, the old Quarry bends was horrible - dark under the trees, really bumpy, blind and if my hazy memory is correct there was a sort of dip in there as well. The big time gains will always be where there's a high speed run afterwards - Quarry, Windy, Brandiish. Brandish now must be 30-40mph+ over the old much tighter corner and considering how hard you had to brake into there i'd say the time gained with superior exit speed as well could be getting on for 10 secs. The grass/bank at Brandywell and the right hander before Black Hut have also been cut right down to aid vision through the corners.
