It will also try to save power whenever possible, and getting back to active from power save always takes a bit of time. But it should be better than what we have today, depending on the trade-off made in setting the parameters, of course. Actually, in terms of RTT and bitrate LTE is quite a lot like Wi-Fi (11g at least) that we have today, so the good news is that if it is available we don't have to worry about the special case of mobile so much anymore. However, in most places HSPA and even GPRS will still prevail for many years. Markus
