Vacuum

My mechanic says my PB unit (vacuum unit) is failing. Yet I have excellent brakes and at least short term in coasting say from 70mph with engine shut off I still get 6 brakes applications before I get the hard pedal. Yet when I attempt to stop the engine at idle, there is usually not enough to stop the engine unless I increase the engine speed. Are there two diaphrams in the unit, one for brakes and one for the rest of the demand.
