It is not linear, otherwise shocks wouldn't have a high speed and low speed compression damping circuits [obviously only high end units do, but the principle is the same]. Shocks work by forcing fluid threw restrictions. The restrictions don't change size to accommodate fluid speed, therefor changing the valving in essence depending on the speed of motion put into it.
