As long as you are making progress it does not matter how small each quantum is or how slow. Concepts like "smart"/"stupid" etc. are relative (assuming there are no obvious biological causes) and are applicable only in specific domains. Each person can be associated with a "Radar Chart" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart) of domain expertises (one spoke per domain) where it can be seen that one is naturally "smarter"/"stupider" in some than others.
