Robert,

This is a known issue, with a bug logged upstream [1] that has
recently been "CLOSED WONTFIX".

I don't have a solution to this but would like to comment that you are
seeing twice the average delay of everyone else with whom I have
discussed this issue. Typically it is an 18 - 20 second delay.

Alan.
