Well not getting a good fast start off the bottom has a bunch to do with getting stuck at midpoint also. There's more than one way to look at it. On your other overhead pressing what I would do it lighten the weight enough to ensure good fast reps. Basically working on strength-speed. So I'm not talking 50 percent of max or any of that.
It's something I think is important that people overlook or they are just not aware of it. On the secondary stuff that people do higher reps with they look at it as "hypertrophy". But it is also an oppurtunity to lift faster than you do on "heavy day". This works on strenght, hypertrophy, AND speed (in a good challenging way). If your secondary pressing has enough weight that it is not much faster than your primary then you are doing yourself a disservice.

can i rack the bar, take a deep breathe and knock out more reps? its the same thing as with deadlifts where we rest for a short while before yanking the bar up again.

Absolutely. Remember the whole point of this thing is to get good quality reps. If you're struggling to breath then of course you can't really get good "quality". Do what you have to do.
And I added some to that first post, btw, while you were posting.
