No, the opposite. The lower the activation barrier the faster the reaction goes. That is how a catalyst speeds up the reaction: by lowering the activation energy.
See the Web Links for more information.

The energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called the activation energy :)
What is the minimum amount of energy required for two substances to react?
The minimum amount of energy needed is called the "activiation energy". It varries depending on factors such as your reaction, temperature and several others.
