Rapids and acceleration are set in Mach3 ...
Settings -> Motor Tuning -> select Z axis
Being 10 years old, the motor magnets may be getting a bit weaker, and the z axis may be a bit tight somewhere so lifting is just on the edge. SO try just halving the speed and acceleration values ... and on this screen you have to remember to hit save as well
