I'll have to look into that. That kind of thing can kill Zwift racing if it isn't registering your little peaks over rollers or something. In other words, doing work you aren't getting credit for then having to work harder because it didn't register it.
Those little pops are essential. Titans Grove can be ridden crazy fast if you hit the base of every roller doing 6-8 W/kg. I noticed a 1-2 second lag between my legs/head unit and Zwift registering the sudden power. That lag has to be planned for, as those rollers only last about 3 seconds.
