Default Grit in the Oyster

AFAIK mifare doesn't support AES.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIFARE , they do. The article
also mentions a replacement card for the current Oyster/MIFARE Classic card
that will support AES.

Does anyone know if these cards will be as fast as the current Oyster
cards, or if they will require travellers to hold the card still on the
reader longer?
