The actual 35s is pretty normal in that respect. No noticeable delay.

I could never make much (if any) sense of speed claims regarding pocket calculators. "Slow" or "fast" means what exactly? I would say that every calculator made after 1980 is fast enough to process every entry from the keyboard in less time than it takes me to read the result or press the next key. Which makes it a "fast" calculator compared to some older pieces in my collection that take over two seconds to compute a trigonometric function.
On the other hand, if one writes a program to compute the n'th digit of Pi or to check whether a 10-digit-number is prime one can get the impression that one's calculator might be a little "slow" to do that. But then again, nobody who needs to do this kind of calculation will do it with a calculalator - not in the year 2014 at least! - so this kind of speed is totally meaningless.

And regarding the question: No, the 35s is not slow. And it has the arithmetic keys on the good side and therefore is a good calculator :-)
