I'm not sure we've done timing measurements on various operations, but 
in general most IPA commands are fast executing in sub-second elapsed 
time on the server. Latency on the client side can be introduced by such 
things as authentication (mitigated by the use of client sessions), 
network latencies between the client and the server, DNS resolution, 
etc. Those types of network induced latencies can be very hard to 
predict because it depends on a number of external factors having 
nothing to do with IPA per se. Elapsed time on the server is also 
influenced by LDAP tuning (e.g. indexes), memory, available CPU, etc.

Things like adding a user, or adding a user to a group are not compute 
intensive and should execute quickly. For your intended use I don't see 
any issues with the elapsed time for command execution.
