Hi,

Yes, speed is in nm/ps.
g_traj -com -ov -n will give the the speed of the slabs as a function of time.

If the speed is really 1.2 nm/ps, they should have moved 6 nm in 5 ns,
which is probably not the case, right?

Could it be that you have pbc issues?
The distance between the two slabs could be taken within the box
or over the boundaries.
Have a look at pullx.xvg to see if it does what you expect.
(the time derivative of pullx.xvg should also give the speed difference of the 
slabs).
