Skyerocker, I'm not sure I'd recognize if it wasn't running fine. I don't have a lot of experience with other hubs. Maybe 15 miles on a 2000 Trek 7300 Multitrack, and 10 trainer miles on my wife's 2010 Globe Vienna 1

I do know if I try to shift from the smallest gear in the rear to the largest or second largest quickly, badness follows.
but I suspect most bikes do that and it's unrelated to the hub at all.
