I understand.
Speed is reduced a little while in the air, and picks up again when on the ground. I did this cause it generally feels better to me, but I can see how it could mess with the flow.
Yeah, that's what I meant by bunny hopping. Jumping consistently increases speed, but if you stop jumping the speed resets to default. Which is what my understanding of bunny hopping is. Which of course could be completely wrong, as I've never put much research into it.
Both of these are easy enough to tweak, so I can mess around with the settings and see if I can't find something that feels more consistent.
