is being slow related to Aspergers?

no. but it can go with aspergers.

Intellectually or physically?

each of us has differently developed neurology, so the answer to your question could be yes, we all have sensory processing struggles but most of us will be slow in different ways from each other. Every one of us is different!

I am slow when I interact with anybody in 'real time" because my processing just can't keep up, but give me a book or a written article, or anything in print and not moving or spoken, and I test at genius levels for comprehension and communication.

It all depends on the uneven development of our neurology, and which struggles we might have.

There can be an auditory delay that makes us seem kind of slow, this is especially the case if we're already tired and stressed, My reaction time is generally somewhere between -2 seconds and 2 seconds, but when I'm exhausted and stressed, it can be closer to a half minute between when somebody asks something and when I can actually respond.

There can also be learning disorders and the like that make it take longer than it would for NTs, not to mention that in some cases, it's just a longer trip to get the information that was requested.

I can be a little slow most of the time. I get called Sid, Schultzie and Big Baby Schultz.

I tend to be a slow thinker, certainly slow to take in other people's ideas if they're new to me, but I think when I get there, I usually understand it better than most people do. It's a depth thing. Good, reliable stuff usually takes longer.
