    Less server load? Slower crawling by search engines.

    The question really is, does your content change frequently? If you change content frequently, then it make no sense to set it to slow.

    yes fully agree with gbh1935. In case of medium or fast crawl rate instead of slow your content will frequently indexed to the google.
