I selected the "Use smart previews instead of originals for image editing" optioin but I've noticed that it is slower than when I work without the originals connected.

Do you zoom in to 100% while editing, for example for sharpening? If you do that, then Lightroom Classic will load the original after all , so that will indeed be slower than using the original right from the start. If there are no originals, then Lightroom Classic obviously can't do that so it will zoom in less, but there will be no delay due to reloading.

So "Use smart previews instead of originals for image editing" is not working as should be, there is no sense.

I think it does make sense, but there are obviously limitations to using just smart previews rather than full sized originals. If you zoom to 100% to check sharpening, then you really want to zoom to 100%. Or would you prefer to not zoom beyond 2560 pixels wide, so you can't judge what you are doing? If that is what you prefer, then remember to just not zoom to 100%.
