Which is the slowest a solar or lunar eclipse?
Both result in the moon's orbit around the earth. In a lunar eclipse the moon is on the far side of the earth from the bright sun, and earth's shadow passes across its surface. Earth is larger than the moon, and casts a bigger shadow on it than the moon would cast on the earth during a solar eclipse. Therefore I would have to argue that the lunar eclipse should take longer, or be slower to complete.

Why does lunar eclipse last longer than a solar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Moon is in the Earth's shadow, with the Earth blocking the Sun's light. During a solar eclipse, it is the Earth that is in the shadow of the moon, with the moon blocking the Sun's light from striking a small area of the Earth. The Moon is much much smaller than the Earth, and so has a smaller shadow. This means the smaller lunar shadow results in a shorter solar eclipse. Ancient astronomers used to use the short time of the solar eclipse as a measuring device in the time before clocks existed.
