Slow with AC on...

As age/mileage would have it, most of my previous cars would be very sluggish with the AC on. Usually that would happen once I cross 100,000KM (60,000miles).
My 01 Maxima has 88,000KM (around 50ish miles), and has started to show the same poor response when the AC is on. The car has been maintained as per the maintenance schedule.
Can something be done/replaced to get it back to what it was before?

BTW: I changed the MAF+ reflash ECU just for fun and that didnt help.

Thanks....
