What do you mean by slow?  It usually takes my SMTP server (gmail)
about 3 seconds to send a message, which is annoying, but not so bad
that I've gone searching for an alternate solution.  Nor have I tried
other SMTP servers.  Nonetheless, I would welcome a way to make it
more speedy :)  

So, to the list, what do you deem as an acceptable amount of time to
send a message and what do you actually experience with wl?

Thanks,
