I almost never look at recipe timing, but anecdotally, I know I'm slower.
That said, I spent time as a line chef in a kitchen, and it gave me some useful skills in kitchen: cooking lots of things at the same time. These days, I'll fire up my grill, have something on the, and maybe something in the oven, and have done it enough times to know when to start/stir/turn-off to make sure everything is done right around the same time. Very much like a restaurant.
Also, some things are just easier when you let the tool do the job for you. I never cook rice any other way than in an Instant Pot, for example.
