Christopher Priest can maintain a slow pace without crawling to a slog. His books are not huge fantasy-scale opuses, but his style is slow and detailed. Sometimes he has lost me.
A big, slow-paced book that I found I returned to until the end is The Terror by Simmons.
On the opposite side, I started to re-read Neuromancer. I stopped after the first page. The prose is too flashy, and now seems cliche. Perhaps it hasn't aged well.
