Is it just my imagination or is it a little harder to pull an AC

If you run too much power thru an outlet and cord, you can actually WELD
the cord's prongs to the outlet contacts. Then you may never remove it.
I've seen this happen several times. The only solution is to replace
both the outlet and the cord (or the plug on the cord).
