In the above, note the dashed gray lines - this is a graphical
representation of the "pseudo acceleration". Where the two dashed
lines meet enforces a limit on the move's top speed. For most moves
the limit will be at or above the move's existing limits and no change
in behavior is induced. However, for short "zig-zag" moves the limit
comes into play and it reduces the top speed. Note that the grey lines
represent a pseudo-acceleration to limit top speed only - the move
continues to use it's normal acceleration scheme up to its adjusted
top-speed.
Specifically, the code calculates what the velocity of each move would
be if it were limited to this virtual "acceleration to deceleration"
rate (half the normal acceleration rate by default). In the above
picture the dashed gray lines represent this virtual acceleration rate
for the first move. If a move can not reach its full cruising speed
using this virtual acceleration rate then its top speed is reduced to
the maximum speed it could obtain at this virtual acceleration
rate. For most moves the limit will be at or above the move's existing
limits and no change in behavior is induced. For short zigzag moves,
however, this limit reduces the top speed. Note that it does not
change the actual acceleration within the move - the move continues to
use the normal acceleration scheme up to its adjusted top-speed.
