Because of the lower internal resistance there is also less drop from things that need a lot of instant power.

Voltage has a pretty direct effect on the performance of all the electronics. Not so much the digital stuff, since that's all lower voltage anyway. Anything doing work though will be impacted.
Sweet! So I'm not crazy after all. Thank you for shedding light on the subject!

Maybe if I can pick up a tenth coming out of every corner at NJMP I can drop another sec per lap.
