I'm not aware of a pattern, no. I'm hoping that the people who have been involved with measuring it will speak up here. I'm not sure that the efforts were connected to a department... if they were, it might have been Engineering, or Xenogen, or the result of some kind of cooperation between them.
Prior to those efforts, there was a woman named Jaye who had the capability to survive jumps outside of the pods by taking the form of an insect. She didn't do it every jump, but on the occasions when she did, a few years ago, one jump took a month, the other took a year.
That may not have had much to do with the distance we traveled, given the way the drive operates -- it's possible that we spent the entire year in a wormhole.
You're aware that there are small black holes in various places throughout the ship? They should be physically impossible.
