Thanks Gianni & Fer for that data. I was able to roughly determine the date of greatest EOT change by looking at the slope of the EOT curve (EOT is changing fastest when slope is greatest) or the analemma (EOT is changing fastest when the slope is the least), but I had trouble calculating the amount of change.
