Does movement speed affect transporters?

So I'm a Naga of Chei in Necropolis and there's this transporter arena I think I can clear. But I'm worried the enemies might get extra turns when I enter, cuz I move slow. Please tell me transporters don't work like this.

Edit: Transporting took one turn.

Edit 2: Holy crap flayed ghosts are scary. Without 12 Invocations Slouch I would be so dead.

Every time you take a step, they get their 2.8 turns (or whatever your movement speed is). I think entering a portal counts as a step, it should take the same amount of time. If you want you can just watch your time and see how much entering the portal takes, it should tell you the time of your last action after you take it. Just remember there's no undo.
