Default Why were the George and Jack so slow?

It seems like,with available hp the WWII George and Jack should have been
faster (specs on new a/c). Both are commonly referred to as being in the 360
mph class under optimum conditions. Yet they had high hp engines with four
bladed props. Bad airfoils? Too much frontal cross section? Prop
inefficiency? Weight? (the George supposedly did not have a weight
problem).
