Calculated hull speed does not yield the smallest possible wake. I know you know that. Idle speed does if you want to maintain control. I find that idle speed on my 42 does not give me much control as my rudders are very small in area. I suspect your 55 is much the same but at a higher speed.
It is a balance for sure trying to disrupt the passed boat as little as possible while passing effectively. Making the effort to do so goes a long way.
