A footnote from another edition:

Það má víða sjá, að orð hefur leikið með Norðmönnum á
seinlæti Íslendinga; sbr. Gísls þ. Ill. (4. kap.): „Eigi
váru þér nú tómlátir, Íslendingar ...“; að sama atburði er
og vikið í sögu Jóns helga (Bisk. I 222); Laurentius s.
(5. kap.): „Heitið, minn herra,“ (segir Guðmundur) „á inn
heilaga Jón Hólabiskup; hann er mjök skjótr í áheitum ...“
„Svá skal vera, síra,“ sagði konungrinn, „ok sýni hann
þat, at hann sé nú eigi seinlátr, sem Íslendingar eru
vanir.“

It can be widely seen that the slowness/dullness of
Icelanders was proverbial amongst Norwegians; cf. Gísls.
þ. Ill. (4th Ch.): ‘Now you were not slow, Icelanders
...’; the same circumstance is also mentioned in the saga
of Jón helgi and Laurentius s. (5th Ch.): Guðmundur says
‘Invoke the holy Jón Hólabiskup, my lord; he is very quick
in invocations ... .’ ‘So it shall be, sir,’ said the
king, ‘and he shows that he is now not slow, as Icelanders
are accustomed to be.’
