My theory, based on this episode, is that the director is trying to fill a niche in categories of films which has been neglected for many years. The category is films for people who can't read subtitles quickly enough to keep up with the dialog.
Refn may be overdoing it with the pace of dialog. I imagine that there are a few people who find the pace too slow, and still yet a few more who are still having to pause streaming or even skip back 10 seconds in order to keep up.
It's entirely possible that Refn's next project will address those problems. His fans will just have to be patient. As far as I can tell, Refn is the only director who is even trying to serve those afflicted with this slow reading disorder.
