Well on a hard Climb I lose speed every deadspot of my pedal stroke, and gain it again as I go through the Power spot. The steeper the hill, the faster I will lose speed, and thus the more accelerating I will need to do.
I'm kinda interested if the pros are so much smoother in there pedalling to drastically reduce this effect.
...But I dont think anyone else is. Maybe we should drop it ;)

Intuitively (and I'm more than willing to concede I'm wrong here) I don't think you accelerate more going uphill, as acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity.
I don't think I'm speeding up and slowing down with each pedal stroke when climbing.
