What's your layer height? How good is your cooling? If you crank your fan, you might be able to decrease minimum layer time.
Layer height is 0.1mm. it's odd, because it happens on specific curved areas. There are no pauses on other areas that were recently printed.
You mean travel speed is slower in those curved areas? Perhaps it's due to an overhang.
Are you slicing the parts flat or are they standing up?
They are flat
