Make that: GPS is slow. It is, by design, especially if used only occasionally. Modern-day GPS devices use all sorts of tricks to get around that, usually with quite good success.

I already laid out most of the basics in this post. Maybe mentioning it here will help dispel some of the myths being propagated with regard to GPS.
