Is it common on these models for the power window up and down speed to be very slow? Takes maybe 10 seconds to open close. All are about the same. Is there a fix for this?

View attachment 3711837Don't have an answer, Mine move much faster than that. About 4 seconds.
Mainly posted to say, yes, cool photo, but where is it?
 
Window motors wear and get dirty. Window tracks accumulate dirt. Try cleaning the window track slot. Can apply bit of shin etsu (silicone grease) in the track as well. Small bit goes a long way. May speed them up.

Or just practice patience. They're old window motors, be compassionate lol
 
It should not be slow, 10 seconds is slow. Roll the windows down, use a plastic or wooden ruler or trim remover toll and make some room/gap between the glass and the inner door card and look for the mechanism. Using a long nose dropper bottle, pour some oil to the mechanism including the motor wheels and the pivot point.
