With a tank in the circuit that accumulates vacuum in idle periods, the time to pick the object can be greatly reduced even with a larger volume, if the valve and the pipe between the tank and the suction cup are enough large.

The company I worked for used accumulators for the vacuum systems. Once in a great while, there would be a need to bypass the accumulator for some repair to be made and I would have to at least double the time delays for the grippers to engage when bypassed.
