Why not? Processing an input of 10^9 bits, making sense of all of that, and contrast it against all your existing knowledge have an output speed 10 bits/s? It is not so bad. At least if we were really processing all that information in the same way.
It had to be enough to let us survive, in the context of the challenges we faced through most of our evolution. We took a lot of shortcuts and trims there, that is why we have a system 1 and system 2 in place, with a lot of builtin cognitive biases because of that.
