I am also running fetchmail from the crontab every 20 min as:
/usr/bin/fetchmail -s

running fetchmail fom the macro puts me into a terminal where the fetchmail
program prints dots to mark its progress. When it is polling the second and
especially the following mail-adresses, mails with only say 2500 bytes take
approximately 15 seconds on a 6000 mbit broadband cable connection. whereas
the mails from the first poll take much less than a second.

The problem is not that urgent, since i don't notice it when cron is doing the
job. Yet sometimes i want to poll manually and find myself waiting and
wondering.

cheers,

jan
