Yes, but you don't think that different speeds are what's
responsible. You think g-forces are responsible for time dilation.

G-force changes are what causes such. the speed will just cause
the g-force change to occur faster or slower.
If you move fast through different gravitational potentials,
you will simply get a higher rate of change.

That's silly. That would mean that clock rates would
differ depending upon the path they took to their
final orbits. That is not the case; GPS corrections
depend only upon the current orbital radius and velocity.

Here you have different particles with different speeds but the
*same* variation in g-forces, and they have *different* time
dilations.

You have different variations because you have different time frame
for each g-force potential change.

Natural clocks like radioactive particles can be centrifuged
to very, very high g-forces in varying times. It doesn't
affect their decay rates -- only their relative velocity
does.

the g-force changes are what causes the malfunction,
the speed changes going through different g-force changes
cause the variance in such malfunctions.

No. That is empirically false.
