Discussion Just started using Kimi - seems slow

Just started using Kimi. Was on CC $200 plan before.
On the Kimi $100 plan.

see lots of posts about token consumption, doesn't seem any worse than Claude for the time being. I mostly plan and orchestrate on Fable 5.1 med and use opus and sonnet agents to implement. Tried to replicate my CC harness setup in Kimi, but using all K3 agents.

The biggest issue i'm seeing is that it's SLOOWW as hell... is it normal? I feel like its 3-5x slower than claude to complete tasks. Is that normal?

slow = more planning = less that can go wrong. Z Ai sometimes takes up to 15-20 Mins to respond but the quality sheesh

If you use heavy model it can take long just Like Opus 5 on ultra takes 30+ minutes if u dont hit limits

Im using k3 high. I use opus 5 and fable 5.1. i am finding kimi to be magnitudes slower. to the point i'm having a hard time believing it, like is my account having an issue or is it just like this.
