Monster-slowing effects work better against faster enemies

Browse Source 
Based on the principle that there should always be at least two
solutions to any given problem, this allows monster-slowing magic
to be an effective solution to fast low-monMR monsters (in
particular home-plane air elementals, who after recent commits
could reasonably be dealt with using good AC, but I want a second
good option to be available, in addition to the existing mediocre
options).  This helps to make playing with bad AC (for whatever
reason) more viable.
