Solciste; does the change in daylight hours actually slow down around the time of a solciste?

Yes, the change in daylight hours does slow down around the time of a solstice. This is because the Sun's apparent motion along the horizon changes more slowly near the solstices compared to the equinoxes. During the solstices, the Sun's declination (its angle relative to the celestial equator) changes very little from day to day, resulting in minimal changes in the length of daylight.

In contrast, around the equinoxes, the Sun's declination changes more rapidly, leading to faster changes in the length of daylight. This is why you might notice that the days seem to lengthen or shorten more quickly around the equinoxes than around the solstices.
