I've seen Citizen Cane and I remember that scene, but is it possible there's more than one occasion to clap slowly?

I don't know about what it is in Lucas, but these days it's usually a sarcastic clap meant to show you don't like a performance. On a related note, this is why Eric Clapton is called "slow hand". Apparently audiences would give him a slow clap when he replaced his guitar string on stage.
