Answer:

The decimation function (by a factor of 4, 8, 16 or 32 depending on the device and its settings) allows the user to test rapidly the device functionality by running it at full speed but picking only 1 data out of 4/8/16 or 32 (selection of the decimation factor). Therefore, there is no need for a very high speed acquisition system.
