More like .5 mph, or the equivalent of about 17 extra watts at that speed so I can understand where Rchung is coming from.
Time trialing and optimizing power, it might be a waste to push your speed downhill. But that would imply that you're time trialing with a 22mph top end ...
Seems like a full tuck would be worth more than 7% drag.
