Imagine a stopwatch is running. Some of the time mentioned
here is "seconds after the top tick on the stop watch".
The transaction starts at 11 seconds on the stop watch and
ends at 18 seconds on the stop watch.

The longer message took from 11 seconds to 18 seconds, for 7 seconds elapsed.

Around 16-17.5 seconds is the network phase.
Because I was careful to authenticate before posting,
it did not need to authenticate before the POST request.
At 17.5 seconds it did 240 Article Received.

OK, that leaves 11-16 for textual preparation.

Procmon tells me that at 13 seconds, there is the
thunder of hoofbeats as "Avalon Graphics" are called.
In the VBOX video recording, the graphics box appears at 16 seconds.
This means "assembling" might actually correlate better with
the wire phase of the thing.

For procmon, there is radio silence up to 13 seconds, nothing (as usual)
to tell me when I clicked. Procmon is not Windbg, and
only a limited set of events are recorded.

At 16.1 seconds,

   C:\users\bullwinkle\AppData\Local\Temp\nsemail.eml   2386 byte write

so the message preparation is hidden somewhere else even
more temporary than that. Whether the text is "gathered"
before the 13 second mark, or some time between 13 and 16,
I cannot determine as there are no marks.

So that is the file which will eventually make it to the wire.
At 16.16 seconds, that's when the POST packet is sent for the
wire phase of the operation. And roughly around that
same time point, the captured video of the VM claims
the status box pops out.

It's possible that the "baggage" of calling
Avalon Graphics is having a high impact. Maybe in
threading-land, they should have "warmed up" the
Avalon Graphics at 11 seconds, even if there
was no status to write to it at that point.

I would guess a craftsman could optimize this a tiny
bit, or, just dump the status box.

I don't have any evidence to convince a jury. I can't
see everything using three tools, and that's about
all I can describe of what happens.

I consider it a bit weird, that a message is sent, with
a packet per sentence (when a packet could be as big
as 1500 bytes). When I've seen black hole routing problems
caused by my other email tool sending 1500 byte packets.
But sending the small packets, does not cost anything
for messages this small. It would not be a good way to
send a 20MB email :-)

Thanks for all this info, Paul. Very interesting.

Strange thing is that this morning, several of my messages have sent
very quickly.

But not this last one. It took around 6 seconds to "assemble and send".

It adds only a tiny increment of time, to re-authenticate and then
do the POST and packet-per-sentence thing.

The time to prepare the nsemail file, seems a bit excessive.

Authentication has been busted before, so it's not like authentication
always happens instantly. But then your "time" would be a lot
longer than 6 seconds, if that style of flaw at the server end
was involved.

Is this a setup to eliminate Thunderbird?

I only got an error if the message could not be sent.

Are you using Mozilla Thunderbird? Are you really using it?

Or... Or...are you using sending mail inside a sealed game? :)

Are you using a bogus Thunderbird? That is, a program that behaves, 
looks and feels like Mozilla Thunderbird.
