Nonsense.
It is entirely down to the footfall at the AFCO and the capacity of the system to process applicants through OASC.
OASC running at full capacity can, I believe, process 80 people per week. As applicants in all the AFCO do not get filtered in neat 80-people packages each week it follows that there will be delays.
There may also be downstream constraints too. IOT may be fully subscribed so a brake may be imposed before AFCO or OASC. Quotas may be under subscribed and potential applicants may be pulled forward.
The AFCO and OASC will strive to work at their best rate.
