Yep... and we were just on about this in a related thread. Can cause 
touch problems, and contribute (if not out and out cause) hammer 
bobbling problems.

The jack spring and center pin configuration need only provide for a 
reasonably quick return to firing position. Any increased spring tension 
or over loosened center pins is really counter productive.
