It's a hosted SaaS personal homeserver. So yes, quite possibly a server-admin issue. I've just put in a ticket to find out.

EDIT: Synapse 1.139.0

Element X Version 25.10.0 (190)

EDIT: After updating to Element X Version 25.10.1 (192) [latest Update from App Store], about 2 seconds is observed -- still slower than Classic, but a little better than before. I will still finish following up regarding Server issues/info with server admins; hopefully that fixes it.

Thanks a ton for all you do! Good to know it's not the expectation.

This is really surprising. Can you do a clean launch (ie kill the app and relaunch it) and then submit a bug report from both apps and let me know what mxid to look for? (DM to @matthew:matrix.org if needed). The logs will say where the time difference is coming from. EX should always be way faster than classic Element.

Sure, both are uploaded, I'll DM you what to look for
