Is it expected behavior to have a multi-second delay when objects execute llInstantMessage()?

Happens... dunno why... but it does! It acts as a llSLEEP in a way... the script won't read until the msg has been sent.

If I remember correctly, the delay is by design. llsay() does the same thing. Both of these operations are expensive ands and, if put in a loop, both could result in a flood of spam. So to avoid abuse, we follow these functions with an automatic sleep.
This really should be in the docs.
