Do you think that Slow Movement is a good idea? Why?/Why not?

I've written quite a bit on this blog about the benefits of moving slowly for improving coordination. One of my favorite movement practices, the Feldenkrais Method, relies to a great extent on slow mindful movement as a primary means to develop coordination. Many people will look at very slow and gentle movements and think - how can these possibly do anything? Isn't harder and faster better than slower and softer? This post is an answer to that question.
