Raising the idle speed will correct the slow shift to some extent because the fluid pressure is slightly higher and the pump volume greater. Could explain why you didn't notice it before fixing the top end when the idle was still higher than normal.
I take the right idle over getting faster out of the parking spot anytime. And I drive a lot of newer cars for work making me more aware of it.
