I don't understand your point
My point is that there is not very much time to be made up by going faster when you're already going fast. If you're doing 110rpm on 50/12 (36mph), you need to add 4mph to save 10s in a mile. If you're crawling up hill at 12mph, you can save 10s/mile by adding just 0.4mph. Time trialling is not about going fast, it's about not going slowly :-)

To clarify I could have pushed harder on a higher gear. Above around 110rpm I'd really like to shift up.
I don't understand your point (or maths TBH). 12s a mile saved would be very welcome :)
