It depends on how busy the server is at the time you send it, among
other factors.  I haven't noticed if the mail servers are doing
greylisting, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were.

In this day and age, with the spam scourge and all the alleged "solutions"
that everyone's mail servers use, anything less than 10 minutes for a
delivery should be considered successful.
