Is forwarding always this slow?

Is forwarding always this slow?

I've recently signed up for zoho mail to test if it will work for us.

I have an account were the email is redirected. I sent multiple emails while testing the redirect, it took so long I thought I'd not set it up properly. But eventually one arrived 40 minutes after it was sent! 

All the others have not yet arrived. So what is your experience with this?

Is this just a bad day? Or is it always like this?
