Hmm, maybe not? It depends what you mean by "slow".
If by slow you mean the starter sounds less lively and the engine cranking more slowly then it's likely something else.
If by slow you mean it cranks as normal but takes longer to fire up then maybe.

I've had a few cars with CPS failure over the years and they tend to be pretty blatant and terminal unless the sensor is just a bit loose.
In my experience the car more likely just stops running, sometimes with a few misfires on the way down, rather than failing to start.
