Why does wmic take longer to run on some remote computers?

Windows has a wmic utility that allows you to perform various actions on remote computers from the command line using queries.
At the moment I use remote uninstallation of programs. A batch file without cycles looks like this -
wmic /node:"compname" product where name="Symantec Endpoint Protection" call uninstall
but it runs at different speeds on different remote computers.
One would think that the removal takes a long time, but no.
Wmic /node:"compname" product get name also takes a long time, because there is something to compare with - some computers respond to this command within 5 seconds, some within 20 seconds, and the delete command takes proportionally more time (1min vs 5-10min++).
I would like to ask people who are knowledgeable in wmi affairs - what is the reason for such a delay?
