Magic,
I am sure pack weight has an effect, but I agree that trail conditions are a big factor too.  You have to slow down when you need to pick your way through boulder strewn paths or in shin deep water soaked "wet spots".  The number of portages per day, especially when unpacking and packing a kayak in between several, also slows down progress.
You must have a big adventure in mind for 2010?  ;)
