when you have a flash, shutter speed doesnt really matter. if you're using a 35mm SLR camera there's generally a setting for when you're using a flash.
say you're on vacation taking pictures and it gets cloudy. it's too bright to use a flash, but too dark for a good picture. if you have a faster shutter speed, the picture will come out dark. if you slow down the shutter speed, more of the available light will reach the film and make it clearer. the picture won't necessarily be darker (though it could be); it'll just look better.
also, the slower shutter speeds are used for different effects. you can do short time-lapse things with it and such (however, most ppl who do time release would use a cable release and just hold the shutter open)
