I know what you mean! I had a '99 c5 vette and a '06 Dodge Cummins, but I still enjoy the nimble handling of the H3.. I put 33's on a '02 Wrangler X 6 cyl myself and it did dog it down on a lot of hills..

I was worried about the acceleration decrease as well...it seems to affect some people more than others. Nomoyello has a great point though...you aren't going to win any races. When I put 33's on my 4-cyl wrangler I noticed a way bigger difference--5th gear was mostly unusable. The H3 is geared better and the difference to me is worth it.
