Is this typical EM10-II AF speed?

I have been eyeballing the GX85 for a while as my upgrade but am open to other options in the price range. The EM10-II is an obvious alternative and while it has some things that are better than the GX85, im worried about AF speed. THIS video is some guy who owns it and while it's hard to tell how dark it really is in there, if the video exposure is accurate, it's not all that dark. Far brighter than i keep my living room.

Even compared to my GX7 that AF is slow in S-AF. Is that normal for the Olympus? One thing i like about Panasonic is until light gets really dim, it's blazing fast. Both cameras have great feature sets but if there's that much gap in AF speed, no way im buying that camera.

Feel free to link other videos comparing AF speeds as sometimes typed words are very subjective. Real use that i can see with my own eyes is also nice.

Gets crushed by common people
With jealousy and ignorance

I know it’s on the way"
