But we're you actually going as fast as you could have? The average "sprint distance" (e.g. distance you drive without anything causing rapid deceleration) was relatively short in Stronghold. The smaller this distance is, the lower the gear ratio is that minimizes this time.

I'll see if I can use Ether's acceleration model and come up with some actual numbers for Stronghold.

This is also assuming you're not shifting for acceleration (starting in low gear and upshifting at a certain speed).
