Old shift cables and housing also cause sluggish or delayed shifts. When you shift to a smaller cog, the derailleur spring is trying to pull the cable to the next index point in the shifter. If there is too much friction in the system, it can take several turns of the crank before the shift actually happens, and it can even skip as the chain struggles to find the next gear.

If the cables are rusty, corroded, or the housing is clogged with debris from the trail, the shifter will have trouble pulling the cable enough to execute the perfect shift. Keep in mind, the average rider whould replace their cables and housing once a year, preferably in the spring whe the harsh winter weather has subsided.
The housing stops or barrel adjuster will work as a ferrule in these cases. Ferrules are most important when it comes to shifting housing, or compressionless housing. A ferrule-less shift cable housing can cause poor shifting performance that can deteriorate over time.
