And then there is the fastest corner (T4) which requires zero braking. So, bottom line: there is not a heck of a lot of hard braking going on.

To clarify this point for those following. The GLOCs R16s that I was previously using were heating up so much that I would lift really early to reduce the brake effort. At a smaller track (TMP), I would sometimes notice smoke coming from the driver's side at the end of a session.
Most of the difference in lap time came from having the confidence to accelerate longer and brake later. I probably stay WOT for an extra 20-30 yards going into T8 at Mosport now.
