Godspeed?

Godspeed, what an interesting word. I think we have an impression that God's speed is a term meaning very quickly, but I can't help but wonder if God's speed is really slowly. Look at nature, would a God that takes years and years to slowly craft a pearl, decades and decades to grow a red wood, centuries and centuries to answer prayers for release from slavery, and eons to make the grand canyon, would that God ever rush to anything?
