Exactly!
 
By the way, you can have a very sharp "tongue".  Just don't say anything...please.
 
Thank you!

Matthew,
Sometime back I mentioned tight front rail key bushings as a possibility.  In my experience this is a common cause of sluggish keys in any vertical . 
Hold down a group of adjacent keys and release quickly. Pick out the slowest one and ease the front bushing (if there is no sideplay)Don't overease if it is already free.

P.S. It wouldn't hurt to throw out a  thank you once in a while for all the time our list has contributed to your queries.
Just my opinion . I just did a quick outlook search of your postings and couldn't find a one. Maybe I didn't look hard enough .Thank you.
T.D.
