I see you've got the right shifter going to the right side cable stop (drive side). That gives the housing a pretty tight radius bend, which results in more friction. Instead, reverse them, so right goes to the left side, and left to the right side, then cross them back over under the down tube. Even though the two cables are now rubbing, the overall effect is less cable friction.

Of course, this assumes that you have under the bottom bracket cable guides. If you don't, it's a simple matter to drill and tap an M5 hole in the bottom bracket and put a plastic under the bottom bracket cable guide in.

Yeah, I've read about this trick. I would indeed need to drill and tap the bottom bracket shell to do that because right now I am using a cable guide clamp.
