Are designers like you the reason password reset mails frequently take 30 seconds plus to arrive?

I expect things on the web to be damn near instant - I want to click that password reset button and hear a synchronous "ding" of an arriving mail. I don't want to wait for some cron job to run once per minute.

If you want to send mail off the serving path, at least use a push based queue so there is no scheduling or polling involved.

Yeah... and don't forget that the "R" in "SMTP" stands for "Real-time".
