Quote - svdl, this might be because the one artist that you received the ebot an hour later might have lots of members that have them on their favorites, whereas the other artist might have only had a few. Just one possible reason for that delay.

If this is correct, it would mean that n separate emails get sent out for an upload by an artist that is on n members' favorite list. Which would be a ridiculous way to program the ebots - much better to collect all e-mail addresses the ebot must be sent to, and then compose one single email with multiple "To" entries. Much less load on both the mail system and the database.
