Abstract: Given a 3-manifold $M$ fibering over the circle, we investigate how the asymptotic translation lengths of pseudo-Anosov monodromies in the arc complex vary as we vary the fibration. We formalize this problem by defining normalized asymptotic translation length functions $m{u}_d$ for every integer $dge1$ on the rational points of a fibered face of the unit ball of the Thurston norm on $H^1(M;mathbbR)$. We show that even though the functions $m{u}_d$ themselves are typically nowhere continuous, the sets of accumulation points of their graphs on $d$-dimensional slices of the fibered face are rather nice and in a way reminiscent of Fried's convex and continuous normalized stretch factor function. We also show that these sets of accumulation points depend only on the shape of the corresponding slice. We obtain a particularly concrete description of these sets when the slice is a simplex. We also compute $m{u}_1$ at infinitely many points for the mapping torus of the simplest hyperbolic braid to show that the values of $m{u}_1$ are rather arbitrary. This suggests that giving a formula for the functions $m{u}_d$ seems very difficult even in the simplest cases.
