I haven't seen lags of more than about 11 minutes since I resubscribed
on the 25th -- and six minutes of that might be due to the fact that my
email aggregation has a six-minute polling cycle.  Still, five minutes
seems a bit long as a verified minimum time it took for a message to
deliver out of a three-day sample, all things considered.
