I have to disagree with your approach. Even at low speeds, alternating
between pushing on the gas and stamping on the brake isn't the way to
drive smoothly. Perhaps you need to gear the machine differently and
use less power during the ON cycles - but there is no doubt that you
need to work hard to use FLOAT instead of OFF.
