She likely felt that way because she simply saw the PT, and felt the OT was to slow compared to the PT.

Which is a failure on Lucas' part for not being a good enough filmmaker to match the pace and style of his originals. If he had made the prequels in a retro kind of way, mimicking his old style, I'm sure he would have been praised for it and everyone would have said how clever it was of him to make a seventies style film in the nineties.

I don't think his intention was ever to "fit" the PT-effects wise with the OT. And he's not out to impress people. The entire reason he pushed the effects so much on the PT is because he was so happy that he could make it how his original vision saw it, which he never got a chance to do with th OT, where he had to make constant sacrifices. He talks in interviews of how happy he is with the PT, but how disappointed he initially was with the OT. I'm actually proud that he got full control to do whatever he wanted, and didn't listen to any of his co-workers, or any fanboys when making his decisions.
