Relating back to PMTS (since that's why were all here) I believe that it means she's getting less of her speed and line control early in the turn (High C) and is then reliant on hanging onto her edges later in the turn (and really "grinding" on them) before releasing. Spending more
time on your edges late in the turn results in a slower speed, thus a slower time.
I think I know what you mean but I think this can be a bit misleading. For example, in a turn with poor high C and late edge set you can spend a very short "time" on you edge late, but it is not fast. Contrary, in a comma shaped turn with high C engagement, the latter part of the turn is flatter and longer, and in essence you spend a longer time on your edges.
The key difference is the force,
