∙ 13y agoThe phrase "snail paced" is still in common use today. The idea behind it is the same reason as for the phrase "snail mail"--snails move slowly. Something "snail-paced" is something that moves slowly. Shakespeare used the expression twice: once in Richard III and once in Troilus and Cressida.
