Wrong question.  You should have asked, "I sent a message to the list
at 9:15 PM local time and I got it around two hours later.  I'd like
to see this interval reduced.  Where can I donate a new, more powerful
server to Software in the Public Interest to take over for murphy?"

It takes a long time to send a lot of email.  I suspect that between
all the Debian mailing lists that Debian sends more email than some
spamhauses.  It really takes a long time to send a lot of email on
old, donated hardware.
