So is the corollary to this "less intelligent brains take less time to come up with solutions that don't work?"

No, this is about solving problems ... that is, getting correct solutions.
"Therefore, taking decisions on higher-level problems must be held out until evidence from sub-problems was integrated to not prematurely jump to a conclusion."

Lower response time indicates jump to the conclusion that happened to be correct. The percentage of correctly solved higher-level problems was predictably lower for people with lower g-factor.
