'Slow' throttle AWX 5-speed manual

[Evil]

Sitting in the car earlier, engine idling, I 'blipped' the loud pedal to check for any smoke (it happens from time to time)..
None of that but I did notice something akin to a delay when pressing the pedal.

Which could also explain why, from time to time, I stall the car pulling away in first (I've got 30+ years driving, I rarely stall a car)

Any explanation come to mind?

I recently saw some vcds info on later cars (Golf iirc) that meant the throttle could be made linear, resulting in a faster response.. any gen on that?
