Maybe what I'm seeing is the difference between a mid-range bottom bracket, and my friend's Dura Ace bb and crankset? If so, the difference is HUGE!

If your friend's DA is loose-ball, it probably will spin a little freer. The flip-side to that is you would need to clean, re-grease, and adjust it on a regular basis to keep it from wearing out.
But if your crank also spins freely with no play, that makes me think something else on your bike is slowing you down.
