Yes because it's called a "replication fork" for a replication.

Is it true formation of multiple replication forks tends to slow down DNA replication?

No, the whole point in forming multiple replication forks is to reduce the time it takes to replicated DNA by replicating several sections of DNA at the same time, so that each polymerase enzyme has to copy less of the DNA. As a result replication finishes earlier than it would if one polymerase were to replicate the entire strand (as it would operate at the same speed - about 1000 base pairs per second). The human genome has about 20,000 origins for replication, which will produce 20,000 replication forks. It is necessary to have this many because the human genome is so large (3.3 billion base pairs). Without 20,000 origins, DNA replication would take close to 20,000 times longer.
