How does it slow it down though?

Most of the upgrades give you more bells. No matter how many you fire, Elves are generated at the same rate, that is unrelated to the cannon.

In the end, you are SPEEDING up bell generation because you're getting higher and higher multipliers for each elf-to-bell conversion (start at 3 per elf, to 10 per elf).

What you saw as a "fast" collection at first is true, but you forget... you didn't start firing the cannon until a while after starting bottling. So, if you count that delay, you'll see that you'll end up at the same rate (once your bottle count bounces off zero) as before.
