Really even during pre-pressurization, 1/8 to 1/2 PSI during ground roll for T/O would be an extreme amount of weight. The only exemption I have heard of was an event during MX on the ground with an early A-300 by use of the door assist bottle that is there to violently open the door at 0 DP to make sure the slide clears. Understand there has been a fix since this event that I understood happened 30 ish years ago.

This is really a non issue, I do not know how a 90 lb F/A can open a cabin door that my large ass often struggles with on the ground. I suppose it takes more technique than strength, large order for SLF. You can forget about it with a plug door.
