+1 on cables. Unless you know yours are new-ish, replace cables and housing. Jagwire cables are great and the housing has a teflon liner that is super-slick and normally doesn't need lubing. I'm not familiar with VO cables & housing, but maybe they are the same.
Your thread title suggests you have Campy Grand Sport brakes, no? I have them on one bike, love them. They work great, so I wouldn't place any blame on their geometry or mechanical advantage.
