It's faster to go sockless if you can htfu enough, like anything get used to it slowly, a couple of short runs/rides here and there with plenty of talc.
I just assumed it was the norm so got on with it tbh.
My feet did get cold in some early season tris though.
At the end of the day the biggest transition gains come from being organised and having practised whatever you decide to do.
I'm sure there are some very quick people who put socks on, and I definitely would use them for anything longer than an Olympic race.
