Ooh, ooh. A chance to trumpet the Usenet theme for people who still don't get it. To stretch the truth a little, it is a cruel hoax that (very large) mailing lists are faster than Usenet. Sometimes I see substantial Usenet threads that start and finish in less than 8 hours. Even if it isn't true at this very moment in time, certainly as the FreeBSD base grows even more, the mailing list delay will only get longer. Mailing lists just aren't scalable to Usenet proportions. This is just one of the reasons I'm in favor of moving to newsgroups (with mailing list gateways for people who still want lots of mail, of course).
