Every few minutes the charger should allow the pack to "rest" for a few seconds while it checks voltage, and at this point you can see one cell voltage shoot up and the other stay the same or even drop, depending on how bad it is out of balance.
I do notice that charging action you describe above as I balance my packs that have the most problems. I will continue to balance the packs see if they balance quicker, or if it turns out the packs are just losing a step and cannot be balanced well.
