It shouldn't take 2-3 seconds to process. Where are you in the world? We have servers in West Europe, South East Asia (for Asia and AU/NZ) and Chicago. If you are far from one of those, or your phone isn't on Wifi you might see some slowness.
Good point about the Done thing, but we're limited to what iOS allows. If we do anything that modifies Siri then we could get booted from the store.
Log Dictation on Desktop literally keeps a text file on your desktop of everything you've dictated. For your records.
A fair question! If the built-in tools are working for you then you might not need myEcho. Our inspiration for writing the app was that we found the built-in dictation to be lacking, and wanted to have the same quality we were getting on iOS. myEcho is free to try, though, so you can decide for yourself! :)
Leaving aside the quality issue, depending on your uses of dictation, you might find yourself wanting to be able to do it remotely. If so, using the iPhone you already have, plus a $2 app, is cheaper and easier than buying a wireless microphone.
