In general, I've found typing slowly to be more a distraction than a moment to focus. The difficulties are always in the logic you're trying to express, and the typing is merely a way to communicate that to the computer. If you type slowly, it might give you more time to think about what you're doing, but you can make that time yourself. On a more personal note, 90% of the lines I type are not ones I need time to think deeply about, so the faster I can pump those out, the better. It's why I've shifted from visual typing to touch typing, and why I optimize for ever faster keyboards once they start feeling too slow for me.
