In "relative" terms, theirs would be slower ... molasses is as molasses
does.

You are assuming that the chemicals used for Titanian
neurosystems would have to behave at Titanian temperatures
like those for Terrestrial systems do. There is a problem
for organisms to have too high a neurological reaction
rate, and ours has adapted to our environment.

I doubt that Titanian organic chemistry would be that
similar to Terrestrial. It is possible that their
biological systems may be functionally similar, but
not use the same chemicals.
