But where is the time delay occurring: between receipt by the local MTA and 
Mailman sending it out, between Mailman handing it off to the outbound MTA 
and that passing the mail on. What do the headers on "delayed" mail show; 
also the MTA and Mailman's post/smtp logs.

If anything the latency should be better with 2.1.x than with 2.0.x

Are these posts to lists with many subscribers or do they have some 
characteristic (large posts, many attachments) that might affect their 
handling?
