So, what is "unnecessary burdening?" And, what is a "reasonable davening
speed for the shmoneh esrai?" And, does it matter if it is an early
morning weekday shacharit vs a late morning shacharit vs a shabbat
morning shacharit?

There is a vast chasm between a delay of 2 minutes vs a delay of 10
minutes.
