Smooth
I should point out that the plane is surprisingly smooth and quiet when operated this way. It’s nothing like lugging the !968 Karmann Ghia I used to drive years ago.

Ditto.
My first thought was that this is like letting out the clutch and going WOT on a 4 cylinder engine at 1800 RPM. Some lighter-built car engines (like my Miata) would really "lug" and you would feel the strange vibration. But of course when you do that in a car, you get a rich mixture for the acceleration.
Skylor's explanation of utilizing the very lean mixture makes good sense.
