Perhaps we have two issues here:
- the download during installs or first index update is 6-7MB extra,
which makes a real difference when installing lots of computers
- downloads from security.ubuntu.com being slow (eg 1-5KB/s) as it's >500ms away
The 20% additional download due to sources [1] would help both issues,
but perhaps of bigger impact, trusting the country-level mirror for
the security updates?
