No, mail through postfix to internet be delivered in a short as well under 5 seconds. are you seeing deferrals? or is the delay due to the messages sitting in incoming queue? In the mailq program outpout, they will have a * by the msg id. you can also see with find /var/spool/postfix/deferred -maxdepth 5 -type f | wc -l find /var/spool/postfix/incoming -maxdepth 5 -type f | wc -l deferrals are going to show in maillog, but delays in the incoming queue won't.
