What is the highest bitrate difference...

There's already been a thread about the loudest track... Now I'd like to know which of your tracks caused oggenc to raise the bitrate very high. I posted this in the Vorbis forum because I only use Vorbis GT3b1 -q6 to encode my music and my aim is not to compare bitrates of different codecs. I know there are many intros that need high bitrates but usually in longer tracks this will be balanced. I decided to open this strange thread because I was surprised when I saw Winamp display 506kbps or 504kbps in certain passages of the following track.

The one that has the highest bitrate (oggencgt3b1 -q6, 3min11sec) is "Kurt Weill - Die Dreigroschenoper - 02 - Die Moritat von Mackie Messer.ogg" (in English: Dreigroschenoper = Threepenny Opera, French: = L'Opéra de Quat'sous) with 254kbps. That's a difference of 42kbps or 20%.

P.S.: It'd be best if you take some minutes to encode your tracks with oggencgt3b1 at q6 ... maybe I'm asking to much.
I love the moderators.
