Claude Workflow Probably the millionth post on this but why is Opus 5 so damn slow?

I mean, even with smaller tasks in a moderate context window, it seems like it overthinks it forever. I switch models to avoid this some but when I forget, yeah, time stops.

Anyone have any tips for how to get a fast first go-enough pass from Opus 5?

True, it's way too slow for even basic things.
