I don't know what that means. ("Original page"? does that mean it loads
faster with a redirect than by hitting the canonical URL directly?)
Please provide enough details (steps, recipe, instructions, whatever you
want to call it) so that someone else could repeat your experiment to
verify your results.
Ideally we'd do that for both logged in and logged out users (and various
combinations of prefs) but in the case of redirects for Shirley Temple
Black and Chelsea Manning I think we mostly care about logged out users
visiting the /wiki/${title} style URLs (so not people visiting &uselang= or
&useskin= URLs) so let's focus on those. Which case were you testing?
