I feel the opposite. The last season in particular seemed to really up the pace - sometimes a bit too much for my liking. In the past characters would take a couple of episodes or sometimes half a season travelling long distances and in this season it's happening in the same episode so weeks are going by at a time.
Season 5 is probably the slowest season but then I didn't find any of it padding or filler. Every scene has importance. I think that season was a bridge and a bit of a breather from what came before and after.
