Watch the DV video on high lift rockers, Ep 17 and Ep 18. The effective ratio changes as lift progresses. One rocker could have 1.4:1 off the seat and 1.7:1 over the nose. Another could be the other way around. Quick off the seat aids low lift flow with the high ratio coming off the seat. Then if the ratio reduces as max lift is approached, this slows the valve preventing float.
