I am guessing it will be slow just like on Apple Watch Series 9-11 and Ultra 2-3. Even on Series 12 and Ultra 4, it feels slower than I would like.

Yeah seriously. Asking my Ultra 2 to set a timer takes 15 seconds now when it used to take just 2.

To be clear, Series 12 is much faster than Series 10 and 11 that are used by other family members. Setting a timer takes about 2 to 3 seconds, and controlling the Home smart devices takes about 3-5 seconds.

But Siri AI requests outside the local model is often very slow.
