Depends on what effects this subspace has, other than just slow translation in the normal space analog. Maybe it's not for travel. It could be useful (for instance) to drop into this subspace if you have life support problems, and want to stall until rescue arrives. You won't have moved far from the rescue ship. Perhaps your fleet is expecting reinforcements, so they'd benefit from super slow mode until those ships arrive, when they pop back up to normal space. Cargo ships can carry perishable good further with a normal hyperdrive and slow hold space -- enjoy new exotic items from across the galaxy without the carbonite burn.
If time passes normally in subspace, but only movement is slow, then the military and police will enjoy using their new snare fields to nab fleeing rebels and smugglers. Similarly, it might make a nice defense if you could slow down incoming ship fire enough to be out of its way, stop those proton torpedoes, or even if you have a field with a generator the size of a small moon, just freeze enemy snub fighters in place so your laser towers can easily pick them off.
