At least, at the beginning of the game when you do a perfect split, there is a difference of upwards of 2 seconds between the return rate of the first 64 minerals.

Python Mining Tester

I made the test map quickly and ran a bunch of trials. I obtained this:

(The smaller the number is, the faster the minerals are gathered.)

I was too lazy to get more data, but you guys can test this as you see fit. Copying the triggers to other OBs maps (remembering to set Force 1 to computers and the cost of the workers to 500 or something larger than 64) will make test maps out of all of them.

Yeah this has been known for a while now, I think it was since GGPlay mentioned in an interview he was more comfortable in some positions than in others cause they mined faster.
