I'll note that I checked the last updates push yesterday... it was
about 6.5 hours from me starting signing to all pushed for
f19/f20/updates/updates-testing. 

I expect parallel drpm creation in createrepo will help that some. 

If there was an urgent update we wanted to go stable, we could just
push stable and that could be faster. 

Just some more datapoints.
