conda can take an hour to tell you your desired packages are unsatisifiable
saying that, other than the solver, most of what uv does is always going to be IO bound

People criticising conda's solver prove they haven't used it in years.
You can also use pixi[1] if you want conda with uv's solver, that does appears to be faster than the mamba solver. Though the main reasons I recommend pixi, are that it doesn't have a tendency to break random stuff due to polluting your environment by default, and that it does a much better job of making your environments reproducible, among another benefits
