If you finished in 1 hour and 40 minutes, I'd say you were doing okay. The suggestion previously given to pick up after 6 strokes (including putts) is good advice.
My foursome is made up of some older gents who don't move too fast. We compensate for this by playing best ball so as not to slow down the speed of play.
Read about "ready golf". A thing that frustrates golfers who are waiting behind you is to watch folks who hit the ball then return several times to get their club for next shot. Consider taking your putter with you when you are close to the green instead of having to return to cart.
Also, I suggest that you consider the reality that everyone was once a beginner and sadly some folks have forgotten that.
