Finished - finally. Consider Psalms 14 and 53 which we know are practically the same except for a few sentences and the use of YY (Psalm 14) instead of Elohim (Psalm 53).
Psalm -14 and Psalm -53 have 77 connections over 7 verses, average 11
Really! Does this agree with inspection?
Here are the matches - note that there are some (like אֶת אֱלֹהִים) don't show since I deliberately excluded them from all psalm comparisons - though perhaps I should not have.

Here are a few more obviously highly connected psalms - bits and pieces of Psalm 119 taken 5 or 6 sections at a time.
Psalm 119-K-* and Psalm 119-Ts-T have 2260 connections over 48 verses, average 47.08
Psalm 119-V-Y and Psalm 119-Ts-T have 2115 connections over 48 verses, average 44.06
Psalm 119-A-H and Psalm 119-Ts-T have 2046 connections over 48 verses, average 42.63
Psalm -89 and Psalm 119-Ts-T have 1578 connections over 53 verses, average 29.77
Psalm -78 and Psalm 106 have 2074 connections over 72 verses, average 28.81
Psalm 119-Ts-T and Psalm -18 have 1287 connections over 51 verses, average 25.24
At first the count seems high, but each word may connect to more than one word in the other section and each one counts. I am glad to say that the slightly eccentric algorithm agrees with itself, but I am sad to say that I will likely not find all the differing uses of lexical forms since I am comparing 3 consecutive letters per keyword and the keywords must be at least 3 consonants in length thus omitting 3265 keywords out of 19,548. I am also not including matches on the following: )LHYM, LMNCX, SLH, MZMVR, LDVD, another 466 occurrences. I also eliminate obvious plurals and some other random enclitic Vavs. My parsing is not very smart yet.
Psalm 136 is an interesting study since it has a repeated refrain (לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ) which will match many times. Will it act as a divider between those psalms that use - 'for his mercy endures for ever' and those that do not? It doesn't since many of the rest of the words in the psalm reflect words in other psalms - so its curve is quite smooth as seen in the following table.
