Does your vacuum pump have a problem?
At cruise speeds, the engine should be doing 2-3K revs and the vacuum pump should be able to handle any load you put on it. Remember, that not many items use vacuum continuously, not door locks, brake booster or climate control, not even (I suspect) aftermarket CC servos.
