Yes, there is. Use a "Y" to connect your piston to the air source, one leg has a restrictor in it, the other does not. Use a check valve to prevent bleeding air from the "unactivated" side and there you go.
Feed air from the unrestricted side and you get a rapid deployment of the piston, and from the other side a restricted air flow reduces the speed.
