This speed setting depends on what is in control of what you are doing.
.
.
JWM Window manager could be the control.
But I am not sure what it would be.

There is a hidden file In /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personnal

Open jwmrc-personnal in a text editor and find this entry:

<!-- Double click speed (in milliseconds) -->
<DoubleClickSpeed>400</DoubleClickSpeed>

Change up or down the 400 number.

To see the change effect.
Restart X server (restart graphical server) in logout menu.

To make change stick.
Make sure save is updated with change.

What you want to control could be GTK controlled.
This does seem to control double clicking in programs.

So try this:

Open this hidden file in a text editor

/root/.gtkrc-2.0

Note:
Could be .gtkrc-2.0 or .gtkrc-3.0 maybe both.
Depends on the gtk version being used.

Add this line to the bottom of the file:

gtk-double-click-time = 500

save the change.

To see the change effect.
Restart X server (restart graphical server) in logout menu.

To make change stick.
Make sure save is updated with change.

You can adjust the 500 number up or down to change the speed,

1200 makes a noticeable change.

If you change GTK theme being used.
It will most likely replace this file with it's settings.
So may need to edit the new file.

Example:
I changed the GTK setting to 1200.
If I am navigating in a program, selecting where to place a file to save.
Selecting /mnt/ usually requires double mouse click to open /mnt/
Now I can click one time, wait a few seconds, click again, and /mnt/ opens.
