Seems to me that the ' slow" reaction may be due to either a G limit on rate change on the stabilizer or a speed input limiting the rate of change.
Based on the
assumption thst MCAS only needed at cruise altitude and speed parameters. But when they later changed the max nose down to 2.5 degrees, they did NOT follow thru with the effects on all other parameters.
Ethopia was at high speed- low AGL and wound up with the worst of both worlds..
