Question on Fit for the Pearl Izumi Slice Ultrasensor Bike Short - Men's

How does the sizing run on these shorts? I'm a 36" waist and every other short I own is XL and fits well. The Pearl Izumi sizing chart says I should order size L. Can someone who has these shorts advise if they really run larger than most in terms of L, XL, etc? Or should I stick to XL and ignore the sizing chart recommendations? Thanks!

Aren't performance-enhancing features supposed to help you reach the finish line slower?!?...
