I agree, maybe it needs attention, but as I say, in general I find it to be instant (or indistinguishable from instant).
There are a myriad reasons why a message could be delayed- out-of-phase polling periods, network outage, server outage, overload, etc. etc. I don't think it happens enough to be identified as a problem. I have noticed it only a few times on this list in almost 5 years. I commented on it once I think, and the consensus at the time was- yep, happens occasionally, email != IM.
