some very good advice here
another idea.... (sorry i'm in a rush so it may not be well worded)
....a real killer for articulation speed is tension in the back of the throat/mouth.
As you get louder, in the bars before the articulated passage, ensure that you are not "tightening up" to compensate for a drop in pitch as this can cause the articulation to "choke". (this is more likely if you are playing a lighter set up)
