Will there be problems with the cutting section if the laser cutting speed is too fast or too slow?

I bought a 6000W laser cutting machine, YiHai laser. If the cutting speed is too fast, the bottom of the cross section will be tilted and slag will be hung; if the cutting speed is too slow, the cross section will be rough, the cut will be widened, and the sharp corners will be over-burned. I contacted the YiHai Laser manufacturer, and they gave me some answers, but I still don't understand why this is happening.
