A route is not too slow just because another crop looks faster. It is too slow when it fails the session goal you actually need, such as recovery, saving, or steady profit.
A slower-looking route can be fine if it is easy to repeat and recover with. A higher-ceiling route can be worse if it only works during perfect timing windows.
If a simpler crop loop gives better real progress over the same session length, the old route is probably too slow for your current account.
