Weve got steep hills around here and im not getting any younger so i decided to replace my old shimano 105 derailleur 5800 style from 2017 and 1132 cassette with this derailleur and a shimano 1140 cassette

There are some slightly slower upshifts to smaller cogs in certain places and one downshift that is occasionally clumsy but generally its at least as good as the old 105 derailleur and handles a much larger range of gearing

It may be that fine tuning by an expert could improve the shifting
