HomePod mini slow under OS 26

Is anyone else having issues with Siri being really slow under OS 26?

Almost every request takes 2-5 seconds for Siri to even acknowledge, and some tasks take much longer, with Siri saying, “I’m working on it…” to keep us from asking again.

This has seriously impacted the usefulness of these devices. Doing basic audio stuff and running shortcuts and home automations is painful and frustrating.
