Ecos loses too much time when running Orange Pi 4 LTS

Only the camera is connected to my OrangePi 4 LTS. If I set a 10 second exposure and take 10 shots, I get a ~12 second time difference in each fits file. So I lose 2 seconds on each of the 10 second images.
PS: after upgrade to 3.6.2 I lose 4 seconds on each shot (( Also "download time" for 3.6.2 increases from 0.4 to 2.3 seconds
How to speed up Ekos? Here are my settings that may affect the speed

That's because it takes some time to download/save an image?

One thing that speed things up is disable showing captured frames in FITS viewer.

I think it's not good idea to wait for the image to be saved (or downloaded from camera) before starting to capture the next image.

At least on ZWO cameras, you can set fast download in the INDI control panel which does exactly that: causes the next exposure to be started and downloads the frame in the background. I've noticed that this causes some weird behavior in the analyzer though - only the first frame after a dither shows up on the graphs.

I didn't find "Fast download" but found "Fast exposure".
And ... WOW, after I enabled "Fast exposure" Ekos got faster. It loses only 0.6..0.7 seconds on each shot now!
Really thanks!

Yeah, that's what I meant. I knew it was fast... something

When I do a live stacking with 3 second exposure frames, 0.7 seconds means I lose 23% of the sky time. Is it possible to make the INDI server not loose time between frames at all?
