No AC at my place either. I'm currently at 75 degrees and 30% humidity with a fan pulling in cool outside air and another fan in a different room pushing out hot inside air. Later this morning when I go to bed I should be down to 25% humidity. I close the house up during the hot part of the day, and can get up to 45% before it cools down outside and I get the fans going again.

As for the OP's question, it depends on how much outside air the AC is pulling in and the input and output temperatures of the unit. I would have to get the book from my college HVAC elective out to give a more definite answer. It would have something to do with the AC output temperature (lower pulls out more water) and the in house process (load IOW). I can imagine low load in relation to the unit's capacity resulting in poor humidity mitigation.
