There's really no mystery as to why the rpms are lower under load than 
without load.

The @ idle switch has nothing to do with enrichment. In the idle position, the 
enrichment contacts are not in use.

No, sorry, too many other things on my plate for that to rise to the top.

There's a spring loaded flapper valve in the MPS inlet that alters the MPS 
response time depending on whether air is trying to get in or get out. The 
delay on opening the throttle is less than on closing. I'm guessing they are 
on the order of 0.5 sec and 3 sec. I don't think there's any measurable 
response time in addition to that.
