If you want to distribute tips proportionally, based upon those numbers guards should get less than a quarter share and exits a half share.  It is very difficult to run a fast stable middle because as soon as you accomplish that it becomes eligible for the guard flag and no longer gets used as a middle.

Note that exits and guards also get used for the middle position, and that
there are nodes which are exits and guards at the same time.
