will it slow down our timing of taking picture when using pixel mapping ?

Only if you run it every time you take a picture. Why would you want to? At some point your camera will develop stuck pixels. Map 'm out once and they're gone, probably for years to come.

Pixel mapping is not like noise reduction.

If you turn on the noise reduction, camera will take more time to
process the pic every time you take picture.

Pixel mapping is like one-time only kinda of thing.
manual suggests to run pixel mapping once a year.
 
Pixel mapping is intended to deal with stuck and/or dead pixels. These only develop occasionally as a CCD ages. So, yes, running the pixel mapping routine once a year should indeed do the job. Of course, it can be run anytime you observe such faulty pixels on your images (always in the same place on each image. Noise reduction is intended to deal with hot pixels which occur during longer exposure times (in the seconds) and they can vary depending on both exposure time and the temperature of the envirnonment in which you are shooting (cooler temperatures equals cleaner images).

I don't believe it's a matter of randomness, Jara. If the pixel mapping function is left turned on mapping will occur only when the batteries have been left out long enough (normally at least three minutes) for the volatile memory to be lost. That triggers the routine to run.
My E-10 is clearly a smart device. It decides itself when to do
pixel mapping. It does so completely at random after changing
batteries. Lets say twice a month (cca 1500 frames).
