Why are quoted notifications delayed?

[chilihead]

This has always bugged me but why are "someone quoted you" notifications delayed but others instant? Can that be addressed or no?

1. Member quotes you and Likes your post.
2. You receive Like notification and view post, see they quoted you with a reply.
3. Now you are browsing the site (minutes later) and get the quoted notification, click the alert just to see it is delayed. Wasted click.

I get Like notifications seconds after I compose a post in some cases so I know the delay is different.
