"At a snail's pace" = tốc độ của sên -> siêu chậm chạp. 

Ví dụ 
The work to transform drain (cải tạo cống) no. 6 passing through Sonepat town into an RCC storm-water drain (cống thoát nước) missed its deadline seven months ago. And even today, it is continuing at a snail’s pace. 

Hey, it's not like they have any competition (yet), plus you'll spend more time here savoring and relishing (thưởng thức và nếm), not hurrying over the dishes, so there is that. My advice: Be patient, and eat at a snail's pace. 

The renovation work (việc cải tạo) at the historic Mubarak Mandi complex, the royal residence (nơi ở của hoàng gia) of the erstwhile Dogra rulers (người cai trị trước đây) of Jammu and Kashmir, continues to crawl at a snail’s pace as only 5 per cent amount out of the estimated cost of Rs 298.86 crore has been spent on the project during the past 11 years.
