Bacon bottoms is associated with waviness (wrinkles) of bottom surfaces on SLA parts. Normally, it has to do with the bottom layers are being undercured, however, I have seen the same affect with too much overcured. Other factors that could contribute to bacon bottoms are too tight or wide of blade gap, web spacing on the support is too wide, not enough predip, and Zdip acceleration is too fast.
