They don’t. Validation or failure both take the exact same amount of time. Perhaps the issue is that, wherever you feel you are experiencing this, a failure is able to send a simpler failure message than a success, which presumably then has more to do since after you validate, it then needs to load whatever you were trying to access in the first place.
