I've seen people complain about conda speed on hackernews and I think most people didn't see this update from December, 2022 so I figured I'd share.
I recently wiped my machine and setup conda from scratch and noticed there was an insane speedup. I started googling out of curiosity and realized that conda integrated the best parts of mamba into conda as default dependency resolver and also implemented parallel package downloads. Conda (both as a package manager and environment manager) has always been a pleasant experience for me and I think it doesn't always get the credit it deserves.
