Some_Finn:

You have just made the perfect observation!

When you study the original DWM Parabellum load, you will note that the load for the 123 grain projectile is 5.4 grains of powder with a velocity of 1020.

Slower powders do, indeed, make the pistol function better, because it was designed to operate with them.

If you can buy it in Europe, get some SR4756 (IMR). This powder gives me unbelievable accuracy at 25 yards, excellent velocity (less than 1,100fps) and perfect function with both 115 and 124 grain projectiles.
