Default Cruise Control

We had an instructive thread on cruise control a while back and I have to report that my 78 cruise control came alive during the Nashville trip. It performed flawlessly between 70-75 and was great.

After our last thread, I used the tips to dial in the cruise control but found that lower speeds...much fluctuation. In fact I thought I would have to replace the unit.

But I learned it performs best at higher speeds. What's the technical explanation for this difference in operation?
