I have to check my literature on this. However, I believe that re-ingestion is one of the things influencing this. As speed reduces the reverse thrust plume re-ingests into the inlet affecting the efficiency of the thrust reversers. Reverse thrust decreases with decreasing speed.
Will have to check this when I am back in the office.
