Closed Auction processing time

I sometimes notice a lengthy delay in the processing of closed (successful) Auctions. In fact, right now I'm waiting for an auction which closed over an hour ago to process so I can complete the transaction (I'm the buyer on this one, but usually a seller).

I don't notice a lot of people logged on to the Auction site right now (91) and was just curious how the closing process worked. Is there a built-in delay for some purpose, or is it simply based on server load? I'm not complaining (well, not much ), just wondering if there's a known reason for the delay. Is there possibly some priority setting which could be increased to process them faster? IMO, successful auctions ought to get some priority (over, say, automatic relistings, for instance) for both parties sake, if feasible ...

Thanks,

P.S. My auction processed as I was hitting the submit button on this post. Still interested in any thoughts on this matter.
