Sometimes -- those times when you're breaking entirely new ground with a thing, when you're starting with just a vague vision of where the thing might go -- slow is better. Slow gives you time to understand the effects of what you've already done and the possibilities that affords.

I guess it depends on whether you're looking to achieve something unique and truly new, or just "get rich fast".
