I tried searching and didn't come up with a whole lot... I have a question to how fast my regulator should react to pressure changes.

For instance, when pouring a pint... the regulator will drop from 11 to say 7, then slowly climb. Maybe getting back to 11 within 10-15 minutes.

If I flip the red release on the regulator itself, it drops to zero, climbs back to say 6 or 7 relative quick... then slowly climbs back to 11.

I don't have any leaks that I know of. It's been awhile since I've flipped the red release, but it doesn't seem to release pressure and hard/fast as it used to. But that could be because I've been messing with a beer gas setup that is set to almost 3x the PSI.

Thoughts, do all regulators react as slow?
