The time between an upload and the media actually appearing in the members album(s) is generally satisfactory.
I'm confused by this. Images arrive in my media folder the same time they post on the Gallery page, never sooner. It sounds like you are saying that is not how it is supposed to work. My last still took more than 8 hours. Is it the barrage in the chat rooms, because there have been only two new additions to the Gallery first page in more than 2 hours. And people across the board must be experiencing this too, because if you go back through a few pages, there are lots of duplicate posts, which can only be compounding the issue.
I posted another test at 5:07 pm (PST) to my public folder. I also posted the image to my private, by invitation only folder, which should, in theory, bypass the Gallery queue altogether. I'll see which arrives first.
