@dzulhelmi it will depend on the site itself, but it shouldn't be more than a couple minutes. What this does is instead of sending emails during the checkout process, it puts them into a queue. The queue is scheduled to send in 10 seconds, but it's based on WP Cron, which depends on traffic to the site. If there's active traffic, it should only be a few seconds, but it could take a few minutes. It also depends on the hosting, if emails are slow to send on the host, it could take longer, which is why someone would use this filter in the first place.
