It all depends on the time and place. On Yom Kippur it is normal for some to take much longer and is therefore probably not yuhara. If the minyan is way to fast then it isn’t yuhara either. Either way, if one knows that he will likely be longer than others he should stand in the front so as not to block people in. If you know you will be faster, daven in the back so that you can take your 3 steps without disturbing others. But, wherever you are, daven to hashem, not to the people around you. And don’t talk. And silence your cell phone (even from vibrate). If the shliach tzibur/Rav takes longer than you, then chap some learning during your wait (or quietly check your cell phone). Don’t check cell phones or learn during chazaras hashatz.
