Anyone have data on how much quicker slotted discs wear out pad when compared to drilled discs ? Are we talking about 10%, 30% or 50% ?

I put slotted 2-piece dba rotors on my wife's street driven C2S at 45,000 miles and she's at 95,000 miles now on the same Hawk HPS pads. Here are pics of both front outboard pads from a few minutes ago. Hasn't even worn down past the tapered edge of the pad yet, so I'd say the additional wear factor is minimal.

‘Thanks very much, very helpful information.
