I don't often have LLMs write a lot of code for me, but when I do, I don't mind waiting a couple more minutes for a result that will waste less of my time in debugging when I try to use it.

Also it's useful to have models review code that I wrote -- in some cases years ago -- to uncover old bugs. Current models are generally far too eager to say "Yup! Looks good! You da man!" when there are actually serious flaws in the code they are reviewing. So again, this is a task that justifies use of the most powerful models currently available, and that doesn't have to run in real time.
