I get similar amounts (118 slow actually - assuming 15 atk glove, 13 blessing, 3 cape, 12 pot, 5 from Combo), I'm not sure how to test speed with an Aran though. Too many skills that can't be cast with a single button push means it depends on the player as well.
More fun is my 104 Snowboard, about as good as a 127 Slow(8) weapon. I guess I'm lucky to have already had a Dragon Knight so I owned a decent Polearm.
Does JMS have a speed cap? In Global, any Polearm Slow(7) or faster hits the cap with SI, so there's really no benefit to purple surfboard > Karstan > Eclipse except their total w.atk.
