Alchemist: What kind of action is it to use an extract, mutagen, or throw a bomb?

It is a standard action to use an extract, mutagen, or throw a bomb. This action includes retrieving the necessary materials from the alchemist's supplies, in the same manner as retrieving a material component is included in the act of spellcasting.

Burst of Speed

School transmutation; Level alchemist 3, antipaladin 3, magus 3, inquisitor 3, paladin 3, ranger 3
Casting Time 1 swift action
Component V
Range personal
Target you
Duration see text

Until the end of your turn, you gain a +20-foot bonus to speed (or +10-foot bonus if you are wearing Medium or Heavy armor), your movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and you can move through the space of creatures that are larger than you are, but you cannot end your movement this round in a space occupied by a creature.

So, what happen with this extract? It become a standard action to sue it?

Or he get to drink that extract as a swift action?

Having it in hand, already mixed, change something?

Having a engineer has a player get you that kind of questions. :-P

There is no "casting" taking place, so the "Casting Time" does not apply.

[Kahn Zordlon]

So all alchemist spells would be a standard action? That makes burst of speed unwieldy, but lessor restoration much better.

I would assume the FAQ intended to mean, "standard, unless normally faster." But yeah, RAW I guess it is a pretty terrible extract.
