Q2 printing slow compared to older X-Smart 3?

Let me start off by saying I do not know that much about tuning 3d printers at all. I just got the Q2 and it has been such a great printer so far with almost no downtime. However this thing is so slow. I don't understand why it has to poop before every print when it already does a purge line. Then the cooling of the nozzle just to heat it back up, then the nozzle just randomly sitting off to one of the sides until it decides to warm up again. This thing takes sooooooo long just to start printing. And then when it does start to print it is also slow. The X-Smart 3 prints the same things in half the time, literally. I am planing on doing a demo video showing the speed difference. Obviously I already love this printer and cannot wait for the Qidi Box but the speed is killing me. I don't even bed level before printing now as that even takes longer.
