Are the executions of the orders super slow?

The delays built into VSE (Virtual Stock Exchange) make it difficult to capture quick intraday moves. The trading rules on the VSE site says:
Market Orders
We strive to execute all Market orders within 2 minutes after placed. It is possible that, during periods of extremely heavy trading, the orders may be delayed slightly longer than 10 minutes.
In my experience it was more like 20 minutes before receiving confirmation of a market order. This was for a few hundred shares of moderately active NYSE issues (around 1 mill shares/day).
