For instance, sometimes commands I've sent to my list come back in 3 minutes, and other times they can take up to 8 hours. It all depends on the workload your server is under at certain times of the day. Some system administrators insist that list owners use the "primetime header line; this makes listserv wait until pre-determined off-peak hours to process mail and commands.
