Often doing that you will get drivers trying to intimidate you into driving at the de facto limit by tailgating. At the least you will be annoying them by not travelling at the socially accepted speed. That's a different kind of stress.
Arguably, that's the other drivers' problem but it's wilfully ignoring a cultural norm.

Cultural norms are apart of the 3 step process to learning.
1. Ignorance
2. Violent Opposition
3. General acceptance
my general thought is that if they are tailgating on a 4 lane rd they obviously have a very underpowered vehicle incapable of passing me at the current speed so my only choice is to reduce speed until they can pass.
