I tried timing it on my Glo with firmware 3.15.0. If I wait for the page to display fully between swipes, then I can turn 22 pages every 10 seconds (0.45 sec/page) with the KEPUB reader and 17 pages every 10 seconds (0.59 sec/page) with the EPUB reader. (If I don't wait for the page to fully display then I can turn pages as fast as I can swipe with either reader.)

I can't accurately time a single isolated page turn, but there doesn't seem to be any difference whether I turn one after another or wait a minute between turns. Certainly the page turn speed is not a factor that affects my reading in any way at all.

I tested with well-formatted books. If the book has problems such as broken TOC or the publisher has failed to split it into one chapter per file then page turns can be much slower.
