I had the opposite reaction, 5tok/s is so slow that when you include all the reasoning and thinking + warmup it is far slower than me.

It really depends. With the new "thinking" models they usually spend some time before writing the final answer. If they "think" for 1k tokens, that's a minute of spinning wheel you're gonna see for each question. Add that to the prompt processing, and diminishing speeds as context increases, and it becomes really slow for longer sessions.
