is)

Process chemistry isn't dependent on film speed. It's dependent on the
film's age (when it was made) and processing times (other than standard)
depend on whether you shot it at rated speed, or pushed or pulled it at a
different speed. Ektar 25 or Royal Gold 25 (same thing), is C-41 just like
any other current color negative. Kodachrome 25 is current K-14 as for all
current Kodachrome. The film can will be marked with the process chemistry.
Current C-41 color negative, E-6 Ektachrome and K-14 Kodachrome processes
haven't changed for about 25 years. Changing a process is a "Really Big
Deal." The last change was circa 1977. Your film would have to be older
than that to have a processing problem. The former processes were C-22
color negative (Kodacolor and Kodacolor-X), E-4/E-3/E-2 Ektachrome
(Ektachrome-X, EHB, IE, etc.) and K-12/K-11 Kodachrome (Kodachrome II, -X,
F, etc.).
Note:
The last of the E-4 Ektachrome films floating around was a Kodak Ektachrome
IR film ("IE"). Being an IR film *and* E-4 process, there were only a
couple of labs that could handle it. The "new" stuff is EIR which needs to
be processed AR-5 for color rendition that better matches the old IE film,
but can be processed E-6 if higher contrast and saturation can be tolerated
. . . *and* all the IR sensors inside the processing machine are _turned_off_!
