I had the same issue and have come to the conclusion that I have to give up on the mulching op. Sounds like your mower is probably the same as my Craftsman. Try wedging up your side outlet cover half way and I bet you find like I did that the bogging down instantly goes away.

I've pretty much resigned myself to needing to install a bag catcher or getting another mower specifically set up for mulching. I hate side bags and my mower will accomodate a rear bag as well. I'll probably end up going to a rear bag.
