Time Trials and cadence

I have read different views regarding a fast cadence and a slow cadence for optimal efficiency over time. But for a short TT (15KM) where optimum power output for a short period of time is desired is it better to have a slower cadence pushing a higher gear than a high cadence?

What cadence do you usually find using in your TT position and how does it compare to your road position?

Wondering if during the off season, I should spin harder or faster on the trainer.
