As a baseline, I timed the delivery of gmail notifications to the Android app on an LG V20 running LineageOS. Maybe I'll do the same with Geary and Evolution on a PinePhone running Mobian soon, to quantify the difference.
When the V20 was awake, regardless of whether the phone was locked or unlocked, gmail notifications came on average 2 minutes after sending the email, plus or minus 1 minute.
When the V20 had not been used for 15 minutes (presumably dozing), gmail notifications came on average 8 minutes after sending the email, plus or minus 3 minutes.
As the esteemed Zebulon Walton points out for us, email is *not* designed as an instant messaging protocol.
