New Bottom Bracket - stiffness normal?

I was about to install a brand new BB (JIS), and noticed the feel is a little “rough” when I turn the spindle. Nowhere near as smooth as the 10 year old BB I’m replacing (new crankset, so must replace). Do BBs loosen up a little after break in, or is the less than smooth turn I’m detecting just a sign of a cheap/low quality BB (Sunlite btw)?
