On of the benefits of the Solomon system (as well as the L420 system I understand) which I believe is related to the constant speed aspect is that you can get additional speed with no net consumption in energy. On the downside of swells/wave you generate and on the upside you assist. I've heard it quoted that this adds .5 to a full knot.
