I suspect it's less about the people and more about a rigid and unyielding process.
If the checking was farmed out as a formal delegation to the Examiners or Training Organisations, and the CAA then accepted that, there'd be less of a bottleneck. Of course, that would necessitate a simple and unambiguous process for the Examiners to follow, and as we are often told the paperwork is hardly that at the moment.
