It's impossible to judge difficulty purely on speed or density of notes, imo. I don't think it's quite a linear factor, I think it would be approximately linear for low speeds but surely it must become exponentially harder at higher speeds - regardless, I feel like your skill level to play certain difficulties anyways is exponential (e.g. the difference between a SM 24 and 25 is bigger than a 14 and 15).

Like for example, a 140 bpm jack for 15 seconds might be harder than a 160 bpm jack for 5 seconds.

Honestly I don't think it's possible to simple scale difficulty by some function of rate, I think it would be better to recalculate difficulty with the higher bpm factored into the parsing algorithm.

EDIT: I'm presuming difficulty means difficulty to combo/combo with high accuracy.
