Not in my case, but I suppose the list software doesn't regard
minimizing latency on sending mails.  I assume it batches things over a
long time.

Since the day I joined I've received email replies to posts long before
I see it on the list in my mailbox.  I'm usually 20-30 minutes behind.
I haven't seen any changes in this over the years.

(So right about 20 minutes for this one).

I don't know that I've ever seen out-out-order posts from the listerv,
but direct email replies can make it appear that way.
