You will be talking about microseconds, not enough to make any real
difference.

I've had delays in the past ranging from a few minutes to a over a
week from Voda to my Orange ported to o2 number, however I think the
explanation to your problem might be simpler.

When I use my Nokia to send a text to multiple recipients, the message
is sent sequentially to each of my contacts depending on the order
they appear in the recipient list. If a contact is somewhere near the
bottom it can take several minutes depending on the size of the list
and text.
