If the final vote is from Pentax employees, when they get a round to it,
then the variable timing could be do to the quantity of submissions, the
order - if any - in which they are presented for voting to the employees and
their free time to vote.

It's definitely different now.
I understand how some were rejected quickly under the new system, and
also under the old system. I had some that were accepted in just
under two weeks under the new system, however, while one submitted at
the same time remains in the system and others as submitted as much as
a month earlier also remained in the system under review.
The first one I submitted under the new system, on October 24, was
finally accepted -- yesterday! If it had been subject to voting all
that time, it certainly would have received at least 12 negatives in a
month and a half. No image appeals to everyone. I suspect that for
some reason it received enough votes to qualify, but not an
overwhelmingly positive response, and was held after voting on it was
over for review by someone someplace.

IIRC, the voting system *used to* work like this:
- A photo required at least 60 votes.
- A photo could collect votes all the time between submission and the
next jury meeting.
- Any photo that got 20% Nay was auto-rejected.
This resulted in three apparently different rejection patterns.
1. Early rejection
If a photo collected 12 Nays before reaching 60 votes, it got an early
auto-rejection.
2. Random rejection, usually between 2 and 4 weeks after submission
This would happen when a photo exceeded 20% Nays after reaching 60
votes, but before appearing before the Pentax jury. This was also an
auto-rejection.
3. The Needle's Eye
When the Pentax jury considered the photos surviving the mob.
It also, of course, resulted in seemingly variable acceptance times.
If you were lucky, your photo could come through with only 60 votes at
a meeting soon after submission. If you were *un*lucky, your photo
could oversit one jury meeting, spending 4 or even 5 weeks at the
mercy of the mob vote.
AFAIK, Pentax tried to vary the rejection percentage and the number of
votes required, in order to keep the frequency of their jury meetings
at a manageable level.
What's definately new in this incarnation of the gallery is the upload
limit. I have no idea if anything else has changed at all.
