My experience with gmane is different. Yes it lags a bit but usually by a couple of minutes. Unless you want to use your mailing-list as some kind of real-time communication channel (you shouldn't ;-)), this is ok. gmane's Web UI is not great but its NNTP gateway, OTOH, works fine for me, both for reading and posting, using claws-mail as my NNTP client. And the fact that it doesn't ask you to sign for any kind of account is really nice. Regards Antoine.
