Why is the incline display so slow?

I drove up a short incline today, which the Edge 1000 promptly showed on the display as 26%. The Edge 1040 showed nothing for a long time and in the end only 22%, the climb was already over. Why is the Edge 1040 so slow?

What solution does Garmin have?

I paid about €500.00 for the Edge 1040! Should I switch to the competition?

The 1030+ has had the same elevation/gradient delay problem ever since it was released about two and a half years ago (the older 1000 and 1030 didn't have the problem), and Garmin have been incapable of fixing it, so I wouldn't hold your breath expecting a solution.
