A couple notes:

"slower time" is an unusual way to convey the concept; perhaps say it
takes "more time".

s/if isn't/if it isn't/

s/if isn't/if not/

Sounds all sensible.

In summary, perhaps something like this?  I still have "-9 (best
ratio)" which does not say it is merely the intent and not
guarantee, but the resulting text read a bit funny with "best ratio"
replaced with "try hardest".

This version looks fine. Thanks.
