You don't want any drag. That's in the manual. If there is slight drag at room temperature you will have heavy drag at lower temperatures. I would pull the shoes and lay them in the drums to verify concentricity. Lack of will require shimming or thicker lining material.

As for braking in general there have been discussions about fade, but I refer to the Jay Leno article on junktube where he talks about his Caribbean losing brakes on Mulholland Drive.
