A lot of the YUs (and Russians) operate/contest from club stations, so 
you really can't tell anything from a log search of individual callsigns.

I can tell you I met a few of the guys operating when I was in Macedonia 
2 years ago for the IARU High Speed Telegraphy competition.  One in 
particular, YU7NU, tops my list of absolutely amazing CW ops - not only 
speed, but pileup copying, too.
