I think that's what Dragon Ball Z Kai was trying to solve, the ridiculous pacing.
Granted, the pacing sucked back then too. I remember it taking years to get to the event where Goku finally went super Saiyan. That whole Namek saga dragged on for far too long with nothing actually happening.
10 episodes for Namek to blow up "in five minutes". That's a whole season for some shows. Dragonball Abridged is the true canon for me.
I have a feeling abridged series are on average better than the originals.
I remember for most of the Freeza saga Toonami would make a big deal about having a week of new DBZ episodes. They would play one new episode Monday to Thursday, then start back at the Raddits saga and buy the time they caught up to where they were they had 4 more episodes translated, and then they would do it all again.
They would fuck with us and toss in the tree of might special in there to make you question the continuity, too.
Also long before they were even getting translated, they only had so many Namek episodes up to a point, and then they'd restart.
