I did make a conscious effort on a Dunwich Dynamo once to keep my gears down and cadence up - counted the revs for a few single minutes now and then. It was the easiest one I have ever done - I almost felt like I'd floated there.
I'd definitely avoid "pushing the gears" most of the time.
I'm not a racer.
edit: If thinking about it/monitoring myself I aim for something approaching 100rpm.
you forgot the part about tucking behind other as much as you can and pretty much coasting your way through the DD with a small nudge on the pedals every so often to keep pace with the pack -- At least this was my strategy for success.
