I don't understand the "matching" comments about the mainspring and rebound springs. They aren't working together when they are returning to position and as long as the hammer gets back faster than the trigger there should be no problem.
The rebound spring has to overcome the mainspring. A weak enough rebound spring for a given strength mainspring will reset slowly or not all at all depending on how the internals agree.
