Not only that, but coming to a complete stop frequently is bad for fuel economy. I'd rather be able to configure the app to maximize fuel economy (within reason, I also want to use highways where available even though I get better economy cruising at 50 than at 70). Saving 10 seconds just isn't worth the trouble.
The other problem with this kind of overly-aggressive routing is that it's frequently just plain wrong. You can get routed onto some single-lane country road where you can't pass; if there's no one else on the road, then great, you can go fast around the curves and make decent time. But you're also likely to get stuck behind some slow-ass, and that means you'll end up taking more time than if you had taken a more mainstream route on a 2-lane road. I use Google Maps (in combination with my built-in nav based on HERE) and even though it's not as aggressive, it does this to me a lot and it's annoying.
