...ah, yes, the in-famous single-digit "salute" (or "IQ" indicator). "Slow is good," is common here, too. Metaphorically, it's TORTOISE over the HARE here.

...in the Navy, I was an aircrewman aboard a long-range radar reconnaissance plane that had the well-earned motto: "...low and slow, with no place particular to go." 16-20 hours at a time at about 180 mph made for l-o-n-g missions.

...the same "slow" philosophy works exceptionally well with fuel economy versus milage.



...and, yes, I too studied Latin..."Welcome Aboard!"
