I don't understand what would possibly make someone prefer speed over output? You'd rather get wrong bad answers that don't work as well very fast?
In general I really don't mind waiting 5, 10, 40 minutes. There's other things I can look at, other plans or assessments or outputs aplenty stacking up. Its baffling beyond words to me that anyone would take speed over good output. Surely the better output is going to save enormous time in the long run, have better outcomes. What is it that addicts people so much to speed, especially when the difference is between fast and very fast?
Background agent services that require no super human vision.
You might think faster is better when you vibe code or monitoring. But with background agents, the faster the speed, the more jobs it can perform.
The speed won't matter as much for your personal projects, but if you want to handle enterprise level request, the faster the better.
Say you queued up all messages for a task in say Kafka, you got workers calling AI agents. You will have thousands of messages to do, and the faster the AI agents can do its work the better you can clear the queue.
