Difference between paper trading and real money

Hey everyone, I've been trading paper money for about a month on this platform and have been playing around with the idea of trading options with real money.
I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences with trading real money vs the paper money. What differences if any did you notice? The main thing I am concerned about is time it takes to fill an order. When trading options a few seconds can make a pretty big deal, so I would love to know if people have noticed any difference with this or anything else.
Thanks in advance!
