Besides using drag and setting everything up with ABS keyframes your pretty
much stuck. This is obviously not accurate so you may also need to
compensate by amplifying all other forces to produce a similar motion path.
Other than that it's as others have said your only other options are post or
you could export to another app that can control playback rates of
particles. I know Lightwave can do this. But I'm not sure what your
particles look like so I don't know if slowing down particles
position/rotation is enough.
Good luck
