Friction is an important factor. But just as important is the fact
that if I want to fill a certain volume with air, it takes less
time if the volume is smaller - therefore the pistons contract
faster because of the shaft that takes up volume in that end. The
pumps does deliver the same amount of air to all types of cylinders.
This has to be tested with a stopwatch... :)
