Who can explain how Speed-OLC scores are computed? OLC website seems to have explanations of all scoring but for that particular category. Am I just not seeing it?

I think it scores the fastest 150km section of your flight.

Speed-OLC looks at your highest speed over a 2 hr and 30 minute time frame. When you see the Speed-OLC trace for a particular flight, those vertical red lines on the altitude part are showing when the timing starts and ends. The solid red line on the Speed-OLC map of that flight also is showing when it starts and stops.
Several years ago, it was defined, I couldn't find it either.
