Why do days get longer very slowly in seconds after winter solstice and then quickly in minutes toward the equinox?

it has to do with the suns position relative to the earth. In the Southern Hemisphere, the sun is towards the north in winter and towards the south in summer. The suns relative proximity to the earth and your position influences the seasons and the length of the days through the seasons.
True, but this question is about rate of change, not just the day length. Day length goes from short to long and back again. Like the swing of a pendulum, it goes from one extreme to the other. The only way the days length can go from getting longer to getting shorter is that a some time it must pass through a point where it is doing neither, and that point is a solstice "which means "sun standstill. Close to that time it has to go slower, else it wouldn't reverse. And like a pendulum, when things are mid way, it is going fastest. "Equinox" means equal days and nights.

Is the 'rate of change' of daylight highest during equinox?
Yes. Around the time of the summer or winter solstice, the variation in day lengths from day to day is small - by only a few seconds or so. After a solstice, heading towards the following Equinox, the rate of change gradually increases, up to around 4 minutes a day around the Equinox. If you plotted the lengths of day in daylight hours versus day of year, it would look like a sine wave with a peak at the summer solstice and a trough at the winter solstice.
