I have a set of Nokian Hakkapeliittas and can confirm that they are slow and heavy. I also haven't put them on in a few years.
I agree with most of what has been said in this thread. If it's cold and dry, I avoid studded tires. If it's snowy and icy, they are necessary, particularly for black ice areas.
