Default Olympic lift question and a funny story

Funny story first. According to the directions I have for cleans, it says to really accelerate your hips forward. On one rep yesterday I really took that to heart and accelerated so far forward that I caught my nuts over the bar and nearly pulled them off while pulling the bar up. Haha, that was funny.

Anyhow, according to those directions, it says to slowly pull the bar off the ground until it passes the knees and then accelerate the hips, yada ya.

How slow is considered slow. Being that I'm lifting relatively light right now, so I can get the form, the slow isn't that hard to overcome, but I can see where trying to pull 315 or so would make that difficult. What's the deal on this?
