Google Groups likely takes its feed directly of a Usenet site, and Usenet
in general suffers from large propagation delay.  It is that delay, caused
by messages filtering slowly across the Usenet network, which leads to the
"5 answers" problem, not Google Groups itself.

The mailing list should be effectively instantaneous in comparison.
