The problem with the warp isn't that it's slow, but that it's unreliable as fuck and liable to murder rape you the second something goes from. The time table for warp travel extends from never to arriving before departure. Also, for the purpose of "my setting can beat your setting debates", people frequently neglect that the Imperium's warp travel isn't fucky just because their tech is, but because the setting itself is fucky, thus in crossover scenarios, either the warp fucks everyone or no one, meaning if you transplant the Imperium into the Star Wars galaxy, warp travel might end up basically being Chiss hyperspace travel, conversely if you dump the Empire in the 40k galaxy, hyperspace travel might suddenly begin getting intruded on by daemons and daemons bursting out of the faces of force sensitives might become a common risk.
