Even if "Foo is X times slower than Bar" is technically correct, it's easier for readers to understand "Bar is X times faster than Foo" or "Foo is an Xth as fast as Bar". --[[Special:Contributions/70.41.70.6|70.41.70.6]] ([[User talk:70.41.70.6|talk]]) 05:28, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
It's not, because the expression "4 times slower than Y" is meaningless. "One times slower than Y" means "0% of Y". What on earth is "four times slower that Y"? It is better to say "25% the performance of Y". 40km/h is definitely not "2 times slower than 80km/h" as "2 times slower than 80km/h" is -160km/h. Or in your world is "2 times faster than 80km/h" the same as "120km/h"? :-)▼
