What do you mean by "slow"?  Low bandwidth or high latency?  Would you care  
to explain that in a little bit more detail?

Most of the timestamps present in ISDN are generated by the last switch  
before your end of the BRI or PRI, therefore latency will be reasonably low  
(not more than your ISDN link itself (round-trip times of no more than 2-3ms  
worst case).
