<div>I'm looking to have a better understanding of when to use
the Timer process versus the "Slow Timer" Process. This is
what I came up with, but please correct me:</div>

<ul>
<li>The <b>Timer</b> process is used to handle core
processing within Kamailio. Therefore, you dont want
to put long running logic into the routing handler<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The <b>Slow Timer</b> process can be used for long
running processes<br>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

Pretty much so -- see in the source tree the file: doc/timers.txt --
it has some more details there for proper understanding.<br>
<br>
Also note that you can create your own timer processes if you write
your own c module -- rtimer module can be used to see some examples
of how to do it. With rtimer you can actually create new timer
processes that execute config route blocks periodically.<br>
<br>
