I saw someone do the experiment once (school science project). Soap bubbles are pretty good at solving three- and four-element cases, as long as you make sure that all the points are actually connected.
I don’t think that three- and four-element cases have local minima, do they? That avoids (1) and a bit of gentle shaking can help speed up (2).
