Medium stays wet!

My medium tends to stay wet for a long time. Longer than I have read most peoples do. Sometimes it takes a week to dry out.

Its peat moss(60%) and perlite(40%) so drainage should be awesome. There are 'heaps' of holes in the bottom of the pots. Temps are usually at 75 but drop to about 60-65. RH is average. I can feel it being a little humid but I dont have a meter for it. If I rustle the top layer a little bit it tends to dry a little bit quicker.

Doesnt make sense that it takes so lonn in the medium im using! Any ideas?

peat moss with only perlite added is still a heavy soil and takes longer to dry than a well blended potting soil. GL
