What difference in power have you noticed when a cord is rolled?
Don't know, I'm smart enough to remember what I was taught when I worked on Nike Hercules Missile systems for the U.S. Army.
If you have a monster cord and a light load you will not notice, but subject that same cord to the maximum load an watch stuff start smoking and melting.
