It's just the way things are. Our mailserver handles several large
lists.
We could make the turnaround time faster, but attempts to do so make
things *much* worse when traffic is higher than normal as the mailserver
will fall further and further behind.
Long term we'll probably drop sendmail and use a more list efficient
mailer, but until then (an that may be a long time) the list will
probably continue to have a relatively long latency.
