re: accumulator, I was just thinking upside down 2-liter and a solenoid tapped into the oil pump with a restriction and check valve to fill it
I would be fascinated to see the results if you go ahead and do that. Please post pictures of before and after. If you could take a video of the "during" and put it up on youtube that would be great.

The engine load is an exponential function of rpm,
No, it goes up as the square. It does not go up as e^rpm.
"exponential" does not mean the same as "squared", so you did not bother to read the links.

Oh, and reality check, last I checked a set of bearings are like $20.
LOL, you have never put a set of bearings in. If you had ever done the job, you would know that the amount of labor time makes the cost of the bearings unimportant.

Look at your chart. The minimum RPM the data is presented at is 1100. Why do you think that might be?

Tell you what, though. You just go ahead and run your engine how you see fit. My work here is done.
