Hi Kriro. For image search, DuckDuckGo may be a hair faster because it uses Amazon AWS servers. But other searches should be about the same speed.

Please contact us if you see this happening so we can address it.

A recent article did a speed comparison test of StartPage vs. DuckDuckGo, along with other comparisons. See: http://securityspread.com/2016/10/24/duckduckgo-startpage-20...
