I had the vacuum line from the pedals to the cruise control pump or the
vacuum valves themselves in the clutch/brake switch develop a leak recently.
I unplugged this hose and capped the plastic tee right where it comes out of
the cruise control pump so that the pump is only hooked to the servo.  The
electrical switch on the brake and clutch still turns off the cruise control
when the are pressed, and the gas pedal does release fast enough.  I guess
they had the vacuum release as well for extra safety in case the cruise
control module failed with a stuck closed valve.  Anyway, I don't mind
driving with the safety vacuum line plugged.
