Check the screens in any facit for sand like items that might have stopped at the screen.
Is the low flow at just one point or at many around the house?
There will be some pressure drop when any thing is put in the water stream..

But with a correctly sized softener you should not notice any pressure loss.

My whes-40 manual states a 10 psi drop across input to output. Is this just a max or is this normal? Just curious as to your thoughts.

That is at a certain gpm flow rate. It is the max gpm at that psi loss. Or you could say you will suffer an X psi loss if you use that much gpm. And usually i wouldn't want to run it at that gpm for more than a few minutes or you will start getting hard water through the softener.
The specs. for your unit actually list a 12 psig Pressure Drop at Rated Service Flow
