It sounds like he's already had an ability test (IQ), then. I may have overlooked that in your original post!

My older dd also has much slower processing speed than her other abilities. She, too, was slower with computation when younger but seems to be doing fine with it now that she's older. She's the one who I mentioned skipped a grade and is somewhat accelerated in math as well. I'd imagine that your ds would do fine with math acceleration if he's that able even if he isn't a fast processor.

How about working solely on the reading and letting him naturally move ahead in math w/out extra tutoring by just subject accelerating him in math once the reading is at a point where he can do it? Would the school not be willing to accelerate math, though, unless it was an area where he was already far ahead not just showing the ability to move ahead?
