The small amount of 100kHz current still spreads out - to some extent - even
if the convertor and cap are close.
I'd imagine in the same ratios as say DC would i.e. as determined by Ohm's
law applied to planes.
If the switching currents are large (10-20A) then a small ratio may still be
significant.
