Quite so.
At the risk of stating the obvious, electrons and IP packets don't tend to go into limbo and reappear half an hour later, so if there are discernable delays in one system updating another, it's almost certainly because there's a human in the loop somwhere who's not paying attention or has gone off for a pee or a coffee.
