Re: power window problems
these cars have very big and heavy windows compared to most newer cars. all that weight puts a lot of stress on the motors and regulators, so the motors can wear out and slow down. However, you should not have one switch controlling both windows at the same time - thats definitely putting a strain on circuit and the switch. try rewiring everything back to factory and see if the speed changes

Re: power window problems
Take note also that both switches ground to a central junction point in the centre console. So, clean that connection first before spending any major money.

Re: power window problems
I found the best place for wiring info (other than getting yourself a copy of the service manual, which I highly suggest anyway) is the Austin thirdgen boards. You should be able to find the window circuit info here:
