Generally applying pressure to specific areas of the pad would cause more friction on that particular area. And why would you continue to apply pressure to the middle of the pad(which would be on the trim of the window in this area) and not to the area of the pad that is touching the paint? And the fact that the part of the pad that is further away from the crank would mean it is getting less energy tansfered directly to it by the motor of the machine. Which would nessicitate the need for more energy to be put out to enchance the energy throughout the pad.
Not being confrontational here. And I am not saying more speed when part of the pad isn't touching the paint is necessary (although this would increase energy transfer onto the paint because the part of the pad that is touching the pad is getting less energy than the middle of the pad) but it makes the process easier in my experience. Also, you are not going to be doing any damage to the paint that you wouldn't have done to it if you step up from 5-6 in speed on a DA. It simply makes the whole process quicker and easier.
Edit: just so I am clear, when I refer to the pad being on the trim of the window I am talking about the paint that is vertical directly below the triangular window. And the need for extra speed on the horizontal area was also explained.
