- elicash 9y agoThe original question described chip readers as "slow." But slow relative to what? Cocoa19 is taking issue with the question to some degree, pointing out that they're not actually as slow relative to swiping as you might think (and how the perception issue is being addressed). Others have laid out reasons for the 2-3 seconds.
