Do you give slow CPR in these cases?

Why should you? You still want to oxygenate the body as well as possible and distribute that oxygen throughout the body (primarily to the brain). The speed of the CPR is (I assume) rather related to the size of the heart (how quickly the heart refills from the veins) which is independent of temperature.
