I was trying to reflect the sort of meaning  found in the kokugos, e.g. "牛のようにのろい歩き方。"  (Koj). It's probably not needed, given we have "snail's pace" in English.

We do sometimes use [lit] outside of id 
entries - this seems to me like a good 
candidate for that tag considering the 
similarity w 牛の歩み and the definition in koj. 
I don't think "walking slowly like an ox" is a 
great gloss.

  Comments:
As it's a 漢語 I don't think it should be tagged as idiomatic. We wouldn't tag 魂柱 as "id" although it's nothing to do with souls or spirits.
