In my view, the pace of Hamlet slows down in Act IV after the frenetic Act III. Hamlet gets to be offstage for a while (being on the boat to England), a welcome relief for the actor playing him no doubt. In the meantime, we hear a lot about Ophelia and Laertes. Ophelia is nuts and we pause to reflect on that. Although Laertes bursts into the palace with the intention of revenge upon Claudius, for the most part the scenes with Laertes are plotting and talk, talk, talk. The movement of the story is held up as the characters discuss their situation and prepare for what is to come in Act V: Hamlet's return.

Do pace and speed have the same meaning?

Pace and speed are equivalent, in the sense that they both are a measure of how fast you are going. However, they are actually the inverse of each other, in terms of units of measurement. Pace usually refers to minutes per mile, while speed is measured as miles per hour. So, for example, if you are going at a pace of 6 minutes per mile, your speed is 10 miles per hour. As you slow down, your speed approaches zero while your pace approaches inifinity (one reason that GPS watches have trouble displaying pace at slow speeds).
