Summary: iCloud Photo Library introduces an unacceptable lag when previewing the last taken photo.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open Camera app
2) Take a photo
3) Immediately tap the preview thumbnail in the bottom corner

Expected Results:

The photo should come up in full screen immediately.

Actual Results:

I was able to count off 5 seconds before the photo appeared.

Notes:
I have iCloud Photo Library enabled and over 28,000 photos in my library. For example, adding a photo attachment to an email takes 17 full seconds to bring up the Photos selector. 

None of these delays appear when iCloud Photo Library is turned off.

These delays make iCloud Photo Library an unacceptably slow service. They are much slower than Google Photos or Picturelife, for example.

Comments

This is much better in iOS 9
