I mean passing very slowly as in taking very long time doing it. I've seen it, someone passing like 1km/h faster than the car they're passing. Others will come up behind the first car, want to pass and are stuck driving slow. Not ideal.

...sure it is; let the slow traffic pass the slower traffic and net flow is optimised...

1km/h is 28cm /s - they'd take about 25 seconds to pass a car. 25 seconds isn't all that long

You're making some tight passes here and hanging really close to the other cars with those numbers. And for overtaking someone, even the 25 seconds is a while.
