Follow-up from Artificial Analysis: OpenAI Web Search's total time per task (search + model) is 31s, ranking 14th of 26 — mid-pack in a range from 16s (Octen) to 62s (Firecrawl). Since OpenAI doesn't report search time separately, it was measured from stream events, so the search portion is an upper bound.
