Yeah that's not necessarily a bad thing for me. I can appreciate both. Small improvements can yield good returns at SoW too, they're just not as big because average speed is lower. As much as I'm not a huge fan of AX, it does help to build appreciation for smaller changes that are worth even less time. It certainly helped me with looking harder at distance (or lack thereof) and it's actual value.
