RSA does take a lot of time compared to, say, DES, but they're used for completely different things. To understand the difference you should read a book such as Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier, or a better place to start might be the RSA Crypto FAQ at http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/faq/index.html.
