My old Giant OCR3 wasn't the softest ride either and part of it is getting the right balance between speed, weight and comfort.
Comfort = speed.
I notice very little difference between my CAAD10 and Croix de Fer despite the former being a race bike, it felt faster, stiffer, more responsive, but my commute/ride time is still pretty much similar.

emphasised on comfort over everything.
