Delays in mailing list server?

Delays in mailing list server?

[Nick Dokos]

I replied to Fil earlier through the list (not sure if the direct reply
to him got there quickly) and it took a long time for the round-trip
through the list server to get back to me:

,----

It looks as if it bounced around lists.gnu.org for 36 minutes or so.
Anybody else seeing these delays?

I can't comment on the ML delays, as I'm reading these posts thru Gmane. But I
can tell I often see very looong delays (many hours, sometimes) -- though I'm
never able to tell who's the culprit.

Best regards,

FWIW, it seems to be cured now: within a minute, I have both
the copy I mail to myself, and the copy back from the mailing
list. Previously, I'd get the first one within a minute, but
the second one would take an hour (+- a half hour).
