thanks for the explanation. I was thinking that you were looking for a solution but you obviously already know something about this stuff and that asv might handle ca and pb better. maybe just curious about the flow pattern for now? I'll be following along hoping to hear if/when you figure out what it is, if eventually you determine asv evens it out and what to do about it in the meantime.
I don't have access to an ASV machine and am not enthusiastic about starting on one given that (1) they have not been shown to increase overall lifespan and (2) they increase the death rate for certain types of users. Right now, we only know about the risk to people with certain types of heart failure. But, it's still a relatively new product, used by a small sample of users. We may discover additional risks in the future.
