The comment on the change is:
change temp_view to slow_view

  '''Permanent views''' are stored inside special documents called design documents, and can be accessed via an HTTP ''GET'' request to the URI ''/{dbname}/{docid}/{viewname}'', where ''{docid}'' has the prefix ''_view/'' so that CouchDB recognizes the document as a design document.
  
- '''Temporary views''' are not stored in the database, but rather executed on demand. To execute a temporary view, you make an HTTP ''POST'' request to the URI ''/{dbname}/_temp_view'', where the body of the request contains the code of the view function and the ''Content-Type'' header is set to ''application/json''.

  '''NOTE''': Temporary views are only good during development. Final code should not rely on them as they are very expensive to compute each time they get called and they get increasingly slower the more data you have in a database. If you think you can't solve something in a permanent view that you can solve in an ad-hoc view, you might want to reconsider. (TODO: add typical examples and solutions).
