That happens for several reasons. Increasing the rpms will obviously make the compressor flow increase pressure and the flow will work better.

Remembering that the way a AC system works isn't as much by adding cold air to the system as much as pulling HOT air OUT of the system. (condensor)
The problem is, all that hot air sits on the condensor. If you start to blow air OVER the condensor (that's why stepping on the gas at a light works... not only because you're increasing the rpms of the compressor but you're blowing air over the condensor and removing heat from the fan) you'll cure your problem.

I took a brief look and noticed that the H2 doesn't have an ideal place to mount another fan (electric) I still say that putting a fan to cool the condensor at a light will help.

Though my AC is working pretty well, I'm still going to try playing with this idea.
