Default Overground speed - or lack thereof

The speed of the Overground from highbury down to shadwell is underwhelming
to say the least. Slow ponderous acceleration up to probably nothing more than
25mph and then braking from what seems like 300m before the station. Are the
378s just not up to the job of running a metro service or is there a deliberate
policy of a leisurely pace to operations?
