I think AP is slower- like 1/2 speed. But some high schools have partnerships with the CCs to get 1-1 college credit in high school.

AP is slower because high school students take 7 courses/semester and college students take 4. If you take 7 year-long AP courses, the full courseload is about the same. Also, colleges often have 1 and 2 semester versions of the same material, to suit varying student needs.
