Yup. Like the old joke, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" Practice! I also suspect age has a lot to do with it. I was licensed at 12. Upgraded at 13, but couldn't afford a SSB radio for 2-3 years, so did CW only. Found the QRQ guys (in the early 70s) at the low end of 40 CW and programs were available, I found I hit a wall at ~100 WPM, despite practice. Other than contesting, I really haven't been active for the last 5-10 years and my speed has significantly dropped.
