How fast can the Panasonic GX85 lock on subject?

How fast does the new Panasonic GX85 focus?  I have looked into what camera works best for street and after reading and watching lots of YouTube videos came up with that I already own a great street camera, the GX7.  I was tempted by Fuji as they had several great videos out about the X100 series, but then I came upon several more that said it was just to slow at focusing.  For street I want a silent shutter, fast focus, small camera body, good selection of lens.  Both Olympus and Panasonic can fill the bill.  Panasonic does better video, Olympus better image stabilization.  Olympus is getting better at video and Panasonic better at image stabilization.  If your not going to use all those new features on the GX85, it gets down to what fits best in your hand.  There are no bad cameras to pick from.
