3 finger right hand technique

This is something I had down many years ago and forgot. From what I've noticed I get greater speed starting with my 3rd (ring)finger although much slower than my 2 finger speed. Anybody got any ideas here?

I use three fingers for fast triplets like in the opening phrase of Donna Lee.

For standard playing I prefer two because the third finger doesn't seem to project as well as the other two.

I almost always play with three on electric bass.
