Loud, I agree...and don't forget, really cramped for space on the upper deck.
Slow?...not quite...I believe (and I only flew it once before I went to the light twin) it is a .82 mach airplane...certainly slower than others (744/-8, 777, Citation X, etc), but still faster than most airliners.
It is a matter of perspective, right?!!
