Looks like most of the people with long delays (me too, btw) subscribed
only recently.

There are 1651 non-digested addresses subscribed to the list. I don't
know the setup of the mail server, but if it tries to deliver to these
addresses serially it is quite likely that it takes 2 hours to go through
the whole list, especially if some of them are unreachable.

So maybe the postmaster should do some tweaking.
