AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

The ibike 4 software analyzed today's 70 minute crit to produce about 40 laps. Is this the intended functionality? A lap-by-lap crit breakdown is a bit too much of a microanalysis for me. If I turn off "Add Lap Markers" I'm guessing that'll fix this? Will it still mark user intervals? The latter is useful. Auto-lap analysis is a bit too much for crits.

Correct, there are quite a few settings that you can adjust to your needs and wants. Also check under user preferences for the basic settings you regularly use.

User intervals and/or lap markers are completely independent of the post analysis of iB4 and they will always show up in the downloaded file.
