Why do ovens cook so slow?

Much of the time, an oven is used to bake some type of fowl (chicken, turkey, etc.). Raw fowl contains salmonella, a dangerous bacteria. To kill all of the bacteria, every part of the item being cooked must be heated to a high temperature. At the same time, we don't want the outside of the meal to be burned. It takes time to fully heat the dish while preventing burns on the outside.
