It doesn't feel nearly that fast to me. I just happen to have the
list copy of a message I sent still lying around. Unless I'm
overlooking something important, comparing the sent and received
timestamps from my qmail (on the same system, so same clock) should be
a reasonable measure of the round-trip time on list messages.
The headers are attached, but for this one message it was 6 seconds.
That's considerably faster than it seems to me, but of course it's
also just one data point (and of course your 1-2 seconds could be
right on, and my 6 for this message is exceptional for some random
reason).
Anyway, in the spirit of "measure, don't speculate" I thought I'd
contribute this to the bitstream.
