That's certainly a good thing.
R134 requires a more efficient (or just plain larger) condensor to pass off heat. The least little bit of obstruction/debris will raise the pressures. Driving will force more air through the condensor and lower the pressures also. It could also be that the system has some air in it and that will create bubbles too. Adding more freon would reduce the bubbles but raise the pressure in the process. (rough rule of thumb - one degree temp (f) for each pound of pressure in the low side)

Responding for clarity...
Sure, if you can reach 6# with minimum bubbles and bypass the low pressure and evaporator temperature sensors. They have a reason for being, if unchecked the evaporator freezes up solid and that doesn't help your situation either.

I was pretty certain that you were, but I've been wrong before...
There are actually a/c 'enhancers' on the market, a sort of 'high performance a/c in a can' type stuff that can work, to varying degrees. There's also little tricks for those so inclined and capable.

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today after not starting my car for a few, it sounded like a diesel. After a few secs, it was fine. This is probably irrelevent. Upon returing from the store, I noticed a big puddle stain under where my car was previously parked. At first I thought OIL!!! I checked my engine oil. A little low, but perfectly safe. I checked my tranny fluid. Way high up the stick, suggesting it was running scorching hot, but also fine. I checked my gear differential level. Again Fine. I then looked at my coolant resevoir. EMPTY. My question is, is it possible I screwed something up cleaning my condensor. A sensor perhaps? I figured for some reason, my car dumped a crap load of coolant onto the pavement where I was parked. I'm not sure it's coolant, but if it were oil, wouldn't it be really wet and dirty if it driped over the course of 4 days? I've also noticed my car has been running ever so slightly hotter. Thanks, Dave.

[B] As for coolant, it will generally be green or yellowish green, and smell a bit like pancake syrup. Yes, & when mixed 50/50 with Motor Honey, makes a great topping for my Belchin' Waffles. Emeril.

It had to have been coolant. I went out to where my car was parked this eavening and noticed the puddle stain had dissapeared. And no, it didn't rain. Oil doesn't evaporate like this. The only question now is, why did it dump its coolant?
