It seems a little unscientific to compare logs from one machine connecting to a new networking and having to get a lease to another connecting to a network it's been on before.

It is unscientific. A more comprehensive study would analyze each device in a variety of well-defined scenarios, but in the interest of time I just took a few captures and put a couple under the microscope. I hope I didn't come across as trying to directly compare the tablet's ~11.8s startup on a fresh network to the Mac's ~0.03s startup on a known network. I know that the Mac is faster than my other devices via subjective observation, so I was mostly just interested in comparing the differences in the packets during this process.
