Somewhat faster than a bolt action I would guess mostly due to configuration as your master hand remains in position through reloading and the gun remains on your shoulder. Speed isn't everything though you usually want to hit what you aim at and the cycling means that the sight picture will most likely need reaquiring.
I once raced a troy pump action against my ruger american timed 10 rounds sitting. I was 2 seconds slower but had 2 more rounds on target. Make of that what you will.
A rear locking cock on closing bolt action with a short bolt throw can be rather speedy and accurate with practice as well.
Speed and accuracy, get that ar on your P otherwise I wouldn't bother. I have ditched the ruger, the bolt is clunky and replaced it with a howa mini, tikka smooth by comparison if only the magazines were double stack it could well be the perfect price point rifle.
