Yes, this is what I have experienced.
I ordered a N-Gear Jumpstop and will see if I can improve the granny performance and not run into problems with cable travel for the big ring shift. As others have noted, it will be a good idea to have the Jumpstop even if it doesn't completely solve the problem.
I will report back on the results. Thanks.
