Transcribe with diarization feel slow

We’ve been using gpt-4o-transcribe a lot. Thousands of hours transcribed and today we switched to gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize and it feels soo slow.
At first I thought that it was just my impression while testing this model in dev environment, but once we release it in prod, I instantly noticed how audio files that are in process of being transcribed started piling up.

Has anyone else notice that gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize is way slower?

Same here. It wasn’t like this before. I felt like it became slower recently. Right now it’s taking about 4 mins for 5 mins audio with two speakers.
