Well, it's not necessarily all the slow scenes. It's just some of the bad dialogue involving Anakin & Padme. They did cut out the scene in which Palpatine suggested to the Jedi that Padme might need protection, and the scene in which Palpatine quite visibly manipulated Jar Jar into voting for the emergency powers. There are some others, too.
I feel that all the scenes were appropriately cut, except maybe that scene with Jar Jar.
With IMAX, the film is so heavy that the reels can only hold two hours worth of film. That's why AOTC got edited. Now, next year, when LOTR: Return of the King is released on IMAX, they'll put in an intermission so that they can change reels. This way, they won't need to edit it.
