The dragon is not a summon, so asking about "other summons" while discussing it is misleading.
The dragon is just a fancy graphic instead of a staff/wand, the real attacker is the character and it makes sense that he can attack as fast as other mages.
The AM summons are supporters. They attack independently of the character, who could be spamming CL or w/e other attack at the same time. They are slow not because of their size but because Whoever decided that's enough "free" additional damage for a mage to be doing.
