Why is the piccadilly line so slow?

Krapy Rubsnif to Kings Cross:

About 2.5 minutes difference

Vic = 400 seconds N/B or 390 seconds S/B

I followed the progress of train 354 on 21st September 2017. Occasionally it was right behind train 306, which might have slowed it a bit. This was just after the rush hour.
Finsbury Park 09:54
King's X 10:04
Green Park 10:14.
So it took 20 minutes from FP to GP. The timetable says it should be 17.5, so I think that looks reasonably close. It might be very different at 8:30 am, though.
