Email notifications lag since update to latest version

@quillforms

In EDD 3.2.0, we moved the email sending to use WPCron so that it does not impact the performance and reliability of completing the purchase process.

We schedule an event 1 minute after the order is marked as completed, however if it is taking 5 minutes, that leads me to believe that your hosting provider is overriding the WPCron system and running actions via an automated system on their end.

You can remove this delay by using the following filter:

add_filter( 'edd_use_after_payment_actions', '__return_false' );

This will reinstate the immediate sending of email, however, this will remove any performance benefits we’ve gained in the checkout process related to sending emails.
