I would be really disappointed if my Kobo took 3 seconds to flip pages.

For what it's worth, I've been reading a LOT on my Kobo Wifi lately and I find it takes maybe one full second from the time I press the button to the time I'm reading the next page. As as been previously mentioned, that's about how long it takes me to turn a page in real life so it feels really natural. To me it looks like the speed is limited by the current state of eInk technology more than anything.
