It should be pretty fast, but some lists moderate posts by
non-subscribers.  Could this be your problem?

For timing, we could look at your headers:

You sent it today, at 07:33:39 +0300 (4:33 UTC).  Early bird, huh?

5 seconds later, it is at mail2.hqhost.net, presumably your outgoing
mail server.

www.haskell.org gets it the day before, but is on the American east
coast. I make it 4:21 UTC, though, so one of you isn't running NTP
like he or she should.

I don't know who adds this.

Ends up in my inbox at 05:33:51, subtract one hour if you want UTC.
The full trip done in twelwe seconds.  If we trust the timestamps to
have that good resolution.
