I have no comparison, but on the other hand I don't have any knee problems even though my climbing cadence is sometimes low.
I suspect this "cracking-poping" noise in the knee is caused by either insufficient warm up or increased cleat float (4.5 to 6).
You don't mention doing those stretches. If you're not, start. That's actually the most likely fix. I don't think cleat float has anything to do with it. Watch your feet. Do they twist back and forth? Mine don't move at all when I pedal and I have good float, just don't need it. I think I would do fine on no-float.
