I get the concern, but I'd say "a few times slower", which suggests 2x/3x/4x, not "an order of magnitude", which suggests something like 8x or 20x or whatever.

Orders of magnitude actually suggest the data would be best measured in exponents such as 10^3, 10^4, 10^5, etc because of it's range and distribution.
