Yep, I've ben places when I had the old 4S where the data connection wasn't that good, and Siri would just sit there and tick. I think Google and just about everyone else on phones does it the same way because the processors aren't quite as fast as a desktop or laptop would be.

I haven't checked this out yet, but in settings, general, keyboard, there is a link that says "dictation privacy". You might check this out.. I'm thinking Apple would need to know if you tell it to address a message to a specific contact, so it can insert that contact in the message. I frankly haven't used dictation yet to compose a message, but I'd think it's linked to contacts settings in iCloud. The dictation service has to go online to process what you say and insert the text, as the device doesn't have enough resources to do this.

I ask you, why the heck does Apple need my contacts in order to allow me to dictate? I consider that an invasion of privacy. Am I misunderstanding what they really want?
