This tells me I need to do some low cadence work, but I'd love to quantify if possible.
Golden Cheetah will give you a 3d plot of cadence vs. power



and do quadrant analysis with a movable power curve (it defaults to critical power, where mine is 220 Watts)



It will also export rides as Comma Separated Value files that are trivial to parse and manipulate using the programming language of your choice.
