Ceramic pads-less effective stopping power.

I had some Akebono ceramic pads installed along with new front rotors on my 95 E300D. Unfortunately, after 1,000 miles I still have to press the brake pedal harder and longer to bring the car to a stop as compared to OE pads. This was not the experience I had with Akebonos on a Toyota LC I had.
Will this braking impove after more 'break-in' time? Anyone with similar experience?

P.S. I did a search and read previous threads.
