Here's my log of test results. This would indicate increasing X steps in X seconds reduces the over counting when doing every day tasks like sitting, sleeping driving. But that this is at the expense of 1% per step accuracy when comparing the counts on 1-2 miles of walking. The sweet spot would be around 7.
Key:
SLEEP - record count when wake up - how many steps did it count in your sleep
WALK - a walk with step counts noted at start and end so that count during walking can be compared
OVERALL - from getting up until end of day when you want to stop. The overall step count including sleep, work, walking, sitting etc.
DRIVING - the step count while driving for a known period.
