I believe the answers to this question give classes such that for all polynomials $p$,
there is a problem in the class which does not have circuits of size $p(n)$.
However, I'm asking about circuit size $\omega \hspace{.02 in}(n)$.
$\big(\hspace{-0.07 in}\left\langle \hspace{-0.04 in}0^{\hspace{.02 in}0}\hspace{-0.03 in},\hspace{-0.04 in}1^{\hspace{-0.03 in}1}\hspace{-0.03 in},2^{\hspace{.02 in}2}\hspace{-0.04 in},\hspace{-0.03 in}3^1\hspace{-0.04 in},\hspace{-0.03 in}4^4\hspace{-0.03 in},\hspace{-0.03 in}5^1\hspace{-0.04 in},\hspace{-0.03 in}6^{\hspace{.03 in}6}\hspace{-0.03 in},\hspace{-0.03 in}7^1\hspace{-0.03 in},\hspace{-0.03 in}8^8\hspace{-0.03 in},\hspace{-0.03 in}9^1\hspace{-0.03 in},...\hspace{-0.05 in}\right\rangle \:$ is super-linear but not $\omega \hspace{.02 in}(n)$.
Although such even-odd behavior could be handled by padding, one might instead
have extremely long streaks of super-polynomial values between low values.)
