It seems there are a consistent fraction of people who end up with a heavy trigger feel on a One-up. Whether that's the post or routing it's hard to say on the other side of the internet. It does seem a fair amount of them with I think Santa Cruz's came to the conclusion it was a confluence of Santa Cruz's routing and the actuator. I had a buddy who installed one and had a really heavy trigger feel. It was for sure his routing and I helped him sort it out.
Beyond routing here's what I do with mine. Make sure the actuator has no burrs and is moving freely. I drop a drop of tenacious oil on the actual and down the actuating tube. Make sure the actuator is oriented in the most free-flowing orientation when inserted into your bike. Make sure the collar is well lubed, this can definitely have interplay with the feeling at the trigger.
I'm on my third bike with second or third One-up dropper and they've all performed consistently. Coming from a revive they're not as light action or as "smooth". However, I have personally found this advantageous as the One-up action makes nailing the micro adjustments much easier in my experience. No over or under shooting that 1-2 cm adjustment I was going for, just much more intuitive.
Speaking to the light action lever itself, while it might be 30 or 40% more leverage, trigger feel to me is maybe 10 or 15% easier on initial actuation. But noticeable, yes.
*I reckon if the brass keys were dry it would give a heavy lever feel as well. I think there was a guy not too long back where this was the case for him. On all my One-up posts I've never done anything but unscrew the top collar and lube it every 4 weeks of riding or so.
