I guess with a slow GPS sampling rate the error could be fairly large but
when looking at the GPS speed it seems reasonably accurate.
Anyway I am confident your decision was well though and founded. 

I hope if some changes are made we still can use the final glide as it works
now, it is simple intuitive and efficient.

Cheers

For historical note:
In an earlier version of XCSoar we were using estimated airspeed (from GPS
velocity + wind velocity) but since this is potentially unreliable in a
non-conservative way, we removed that feature and only add kinetic energy if
it is available via an ASI.
