Disc brakes traditionally have more drag then drum brakes. Back in the early 70s, some guys used to run the drum brakes with a loose adjustment on non-self adjusting brakes at the drag strip, in an effort to reduce brake drag.
I was one of those drag racers..... When I found it harder and harder to stop is when I did the conversion.
