SVOBoy, for your application (racing), I would agree that ~90rpm would be best (range 87rpm - 95rpm).
Also to the OP, watch a Team Time Trial sometime, and you'll see the riders doing P&G as a team. They will take turns at the front (pulse), then after a few seconds, they will drift back to the back of the line (glide). This repeats until the race is over, and allows them to go faster as a group over a longer distance than any of them could do as individuals. Obviously this shows greater efficiency, but I don't think it would translate as well to individuals since most of the benefit is from reduced wind resistance.
