So what happened here? Basically you can swap the locations of treasures and after an autosave happens the treasures stay where they were left.

With only 1.5 seconds of timeloss you can swap the locations of Crystal Vase and Jeweled Crown. This way the Crown which used to be a backup treasure that lost 10 seconds is now the faster treasure because 108 extra coins it gives obsoletes the need for loot in episode 4 operation. Getting loot during an autoscroller loses 2.3 seconds, so 1.5-2.3= -0.8 saved. And the best loot you can get in ep 4 operation is worth 97 coins (74 average) so this even makes the coin route lighter and easier.

Although you can still take loot in ep 4 op and this treasure which makes buying alarm clock at the same time with paraglider consistent. Buying it separately loses about 3 seconds so it would still be timesave.

There's one little catch to all of this. Instead of 50 seconds the timer on Jeweled Crown is set to ONLY 15 SECONDS which means you can't have almost any slop with your movement when you're taking the treasure back to safe house as Murray after Tank Showdown. In RTA you have 15.7 seconds of time to not only hit the circle button on safe house door but you also have to be fully transitioned inside the safe house within that time frame (the screen has faded to black). With optimal movement and spotlight cycles you should be able to reach the safe house about 1 second before the time expires so the window for mistakes is REALLY tight.
