i find it easier. i usually drive down to LA numerous times every year. just drive at speed limit (70mph) near the town of Coalinga. i got busted there once and had my license suspended for a month, plus $1600 in fines and don't even get me going with the three years of insurance hike!
Almost every time I've driven down to Mexico ( I use the I-5-210), it's taken me about 5-5 and a half hours to get to LA. I generally leave at 6AM and there's traffic, but not slow built up traffic. Rather many cars driving 75-85 on I-5 until the grapevine. There people will slow down to 70 because CHP likes to snag people, especially on the downhill. Your best bet would be to go late at night or very early morning for the smoothest trip
