Huh? How was Japanese culture efficient? The feudal system was incredibly inefficient in many ways. Which ancient times? Japan doesn't go back all that far.

Well, yes, and I appreciate that. However, just because it comes naturally, doesn't mean you should necessarily do it. To some, violence to small animals comes naturally; doesn't mean they should give in to that natural tendency. I write this as a fast person who's slowly (heh!) learning to be slower, and I can say that it's very much worth it!

to some people slowness doesn't come easily- I walk fast, talk fast, and care to be time efficient - it is just against my nature to slow down- slow people are annoying to me and I can't help but avoid them

I'll definitely endorse slower sex though - my latest love just does it naturally (we're both rather young and not at that exploration into different methids yet) and I can't tell you what a massive difference it makes!! It's heaven! :)

"Situ in Finland: most people here work 8-hour (+30min lunch) days. " No, actually from observing from "next door" Finns have much more spare time for friends, family and leisure. I moved to St Petersburg Russia from the USA 4 years ago and found I work hard but still have more time for culture, friends and exploration than I ever had before. Family friends and work come in that order and everyone else does the same.

I read a book a long time ago called Faster by James Gleick. It's the same idea.
