you're running heavy slow tires, for one thing. If you want a faster ride without completely sacrificing puncture resistance, you could try the Nifty Swifty I have about 2000 miles on a Nifty Swifty on the front of my Riv, with zero flats.
Pari-Moto on the rear with about 1 million flats, no really! I keep waiting for the Nifty Swifty to wear out so I can put a Pari-Moto on the front while having a Loup Loup Pass on the rear, but the checkerboard pattern isn't even completely worn off the Nifty Swifty yet.
