Submitting order taking time (4sec+)

Alpaca Account Troubleshooting
1

I am trying out the alpaca api. I made a python script to submit orders. But, It is taking around 4 seconds or more.
Is there any way to speed it up?

2

market order or limit order ?

3

Have checked order status with api.get_order(order_id)? Have you considered asset liquidity, which you are buying?
